Plans include opening a Museum of Toronto, a new library branch, moving the City&#8217;s wedding chapel services here from New City Hall, and other options, all of which are as yet unfunded and subject to change, but in the meantime, on Fridays throughout July and August, a caf\u00e9 is opening for limited hours within the building&#8217;s often overlooked courtyard.
