What is the National Historic Sites Urban Walks: Toronto project?
National Historic Sites Urban Walks: Toronto is a series of virtual and .PDF downloadable walking tours linking Toronto’s National Historic Sites through some of central Toronto’s historic neighbourhoods. Toronto is home to a variety of stories, narratives and tales that are part of the urban and historic fabric of the nation! National Historic Sites Urban Walks: Toronto brings to you the stories of • Guzzling Billy and the emergence of municipal politics in Canada • Why Canadians burned the White House and Congress in Washington DC • Lady Eaton’s dream to create the most amazing auditorium in Canada • The creation of some of the Group of Seven’s artwork in Toronto These urban walks encourage you to look at your city through a different lens – that of the stories, buildings, people and events that were key in the development of Canada over the last two hundred years.
