Walk Repertoire

2017 has been my TWELFTH year of leading walks. Working with Heritage Toronto, Jane's Walk, the Toronto Field Naturalists and the Toronto Society of Architects, the themes include Toronto's history, architecture, urban layout and ravines.
I've discovered I have quite an inventory to share of independent walks.

Downtown

• Firehalls of Toronto
• Dundas St East - Against the Grid
• Toronto's City Halls
• The Banks of Old Town
• John Street - Cultural Artery
• Simcoe and Toronto's Waterfront
• Historic Toronto from the Flat Iron to the Distillery
• Historic Toronto: St Lawrence Market to the PATH and Union Station

Around Bloor Street

• Rosedale and its creeks
• Unique Venues of the Toronto Fringe Festival
• Cabbagetown's Cemeteries and hidden laneways
• University of Toronto theatres
• U of T - Quads and Quieter Places
• Taking a look at Markham Street and Bloor/Bathurst

North Toronto area

• Burke Brook and Lawrence Park
• Dawlish Ave: Garden Suburb meets Automobile Suburb
• School Days by the Ravines of North Toronto
• The Old Oaks of Deer Park

I'm quite well-versed on central Toronto (Bathurst St to the Don, Yonge Blvd to the Lake), so if you'd like a tour of an area not mentioned, leave me a comment and we can discuss it.

Through Heritage Toronto, I've covered the histories of Yonge Street Architecture (Downtown Yonge area), South and Southeast Rosedale, the Royal Alexandra Theatre area, Indian Road, Sherbourne St, Jarvis St, Communing with the Spirits in "Toronto the Good", "Creating Toronto" in 7 stops, the West Donlands, George Brown, and 1834 when the Town of York became the City of Toronto. Contact Heritage Toronto to request one of those walks.
