About this Event
What to expect on this walk:
- Uncover the lost rivers and streams buried beneath Bloor West Village
- Hear prohibition-era stories from the neighbourhood's past
- Discover the communities and characters that shaped these streets
- Learn how history still lives in the buildings and blocks around you
Join Jim Adams, a local historian and author whose family has lived in Toronto's west end since the 1880s. He is the author of the forthcoming book Runnymede: The In Between Neighbourhood and manages the newsletter for Lambton House. Few people know these streets and their stories the way Jim does.
Joining him is Angela Macdonald, Executive Director of Bloor West Village BIA, who will share how the neighbourhood's history continues to shape the community it is today.
