Mr. Christie’s Bakery workers, facing a fight to save their jobs, used themselves as Exhibit A on Wednesday in a bigger battle to keep industrial land from being gobbled up by condo development.
The plant in south Etobicoke will shut down next year, laying off 550 people. Its owners want to rezone the lucrative real estate, local politicians say, and have floated the idea of turning it into 27 condos.
It’s one of about 80-odd proposals to convert “employment lands” into some other use, in many cases residential, and is indicative of the kind of tension that exists in a city with a hot housing market that is also trying to maintain a diverse economic base.
Usually, a no from the city to change employment lands means no.
