Itinerary:

In honour of Toronto's 175th anniversary, Heritage Toronto has put together a self-guided tour of the City's original boundaries. We will meet at the north end of Market Lane Park to pick up our maps, then walk the 9.5 km that were the edges of the City in 1834.

We are instructed to imagine "Dirt streets and wooden sidewalks, the smell of wood smoke and stables, schooners and steamboats in the harbour - this was what one would have encountered here in 1834, the year the growing Town of York (population 9,252) was incorporated as the City of Toronto."

We will walk at a leisurely pace, stopping along the way to read historical plaques that we find (and any information provided on our maps). The walk finishes near the Distillery District. For whose who wish, we will then stop for a drink at a local establishment.

Recommended Items to Bring:
