Additions and Changes

City Hall has changed over the last four decades:

• Minor upgrades by Toronto architect Bruce Kuwabara to connect the two towers and upgrade council chambers in 1997-1998
• East Tower Observation deck closed
• Gift shop closed
• City Hall library reduced in size
• The ice rink is still used for skating during winter, but people cannot use the pool/fountain area to wade in during summer

City Hall was designated as a property of historical and architectural significance under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1991. In 2005 the building celebrated its 40th birthday.
