About

The Architectural Conservancy Ontario’s (ACO) involvement in preserving Toronto’s architectural heritage goes back to the founding of ACO in 1933, by Professor Eric Arthur of the University of Toronto and The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. Eric Arthur wrote the seminal book on Toronto architecture, Toronto No Mean City. The ACO, based in Toronto but working across Ontario, was involved in early preservation issues in Toronto. ACO Toronto was established as a separate branch (Toronto Region Architectural Conservancy TRAC, later Toronto Architectural Conservancy TAC) in the same period as branches began to form in other parts of Ontario, beginning with Hamilton in 1960, followed by Port Hope in 1964. We remain one of the largest branches.
