Throughout the years there have been numerous name changes - the Toronto Lunatic Asylum, the Provincial Lunatic Asylum, "999 Queen Street" and the Queen Street Mental Health Centre. The site was a Provincial Psychiatric Hospital operated by the Government of Ontario until 1998 when the Provincial Psychiatric Hospitals began to be transformed into public hospitals.
"Transforming Lives Here", CAMH’s vision for the redevelopment of the Queen Street site, is that of an integrated and mixed-use urban village. This community integration will be achieved through a variety of means: extending the local street network onto their 27-acre site, creating three new public parks, and the addition of new non-CAMH land uses into their site, side-by-side with their new facilities.
