Today

1063 Balfour, 1218 Melville and 3518 West 19th still have their buildings from before 1946; 1225 Barclay (1989), 1168 Connaught Drive (1992), 4510 Osler (1998), 2678 West 11th (2021), 4255 West 12th (2018) and 2171 West 47th (1990) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 6975 Adera, 2216 Cambridge, 2455 Cornwall, 1838 Powell, 1840 Powell, 2072 West 1st and 2063 Whyte, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
