The Felician Sisters have lived in the historic1876 Leadlay | ||||||||
| House on Augusta Avenue since the late 1930’s and have | |||||||||
| been providing support to the local community since that time. | |||||||||
| They built a daycare behind the convent for children of | |||||||||
| new immigrants and operated it until 1990, after which time | |||||||||
| the programs and services expanded to become the | |||||||||
| St. Felix Centre. | |||||||||
| The House is designated a heritage building under the | |||||||||
| Ontario Heritage Act. The interior is largely in its original state | |||||||||
| with the elaborate plaster work part of the heritage designation. | |||||||||
| Our work is to bring the House, up to current building code | |||||||||
| standards by inserting a fire exit stairwell in the rear portion, | |||||||||
| increasing the fire and acoustic separation between the | |||||||||
| bedrooms, making the first floor barrier-free and renovating | |||||||||
| the washrooms. To accomplish this, we are working closely | |||||||||
| with Heritage Preservation Services, the City of Toronto | |||||||||
| building department and the St Felix Centre | |||||||||
