Write Up:
Our event started at Market Lane Park where City Councilor Adam Vaughan talked to us for a few minutes about the growth of Toronto and the social context over the past 175 years. Our walk went approximately as follows:
  • South on Jarvis Street
  • West along Front Street (it originally “fronted” the lake. Everything south of Front is infill)
  • North on Bathurst Street
  • East along Dundas Street (the original City boundary was 400 yards north of Queen Street, which is approximately where Dundas is now)
  • South on Parliament Street
