This plan, delineating the area (184.31) acres that was to be transferred by the Government of Canada to the City of Toronto in 1909, is the basis for the municipal ownership of Exhibition Place and 'old' Fort York today. Both entities have expanded since: Exhibition Place west of Dufferin Street, and Fort York into the adjacent former railway yards. The Toronto-Hamilton railway corridor remains unchanged as their northern boundary.
