About this Event
Enjoy the neighbourliness of East York, Canada’s only borough before it joined with Toronto. Learn about its working class roots, the hardships from which residents forged a fierce community spirit, and how the area’s landmarks, such as Michael Garron Hospital and Cosburn United Church, are growing their legacies of public service.
This tour was developed and will be led by an emerging historian. Learn more about how Heritage Toronto is empowering the next generation of heritage advocates with our Emerging Historians Program.
