Sad tale of the Toronto Academy of Medicine

The Toronto Academy of Medicine exists as a "shell" in a storage room at SUNNYBROOK Hospital in North Toronto. There is money deposited from the sale of the 288 Bloor building, the interest is used for a free yearly dinner lecture meeting at the VAUGHAN ESTATE donated to Sunnybrook Hospital. The acting President is Ophthalmologist John FOWLER MD(Tor.1958) FRCSC(1972) of 199 Golfdale road, Toronto M4N 2B7.Te:416- 483-5106.. The Academy has lost its Charitable status. There is no yearly AGM. .Recently Dr.Fowler commissioned Academy ties in Blue & Red. With support from the profession & industry, the Academy could be restored to its former important role in Toronto Medicine.

There are over 10,000 Toronto-Scarborough Dist.11 members but only about 100 attended a free Dinner AGM. As usual there was no competition for Pres.,Sec & Treasurer.posts. (The Academy exists in a store room at the Vaughan estate, a mansion donated to Sunnybrook Hospital , used for meetings and receptions.)

We are a volunteer group indexing war memorials from all Toronto educational institutions. See: http://www.torontofamily.org/kingandcountry
In Feb 1922, a bronze memorial to members of the Academy who had served in WWI was unviled at "Queen's Park." Approx. 200 names. Would like to know location of this memorial so that we can photograph/index it.
