$Public Walk \u2013 Junction Triangle, West Toronto Rail$

Join us on Thursday, January 22nd, at 10:00 am for a 2-hour, 3 km linear heritage walk along mostly paved, fairly flat surfaces. Some stairs.
Leader: Linda McCaffrey
Location: West Toronto
Description: This is an old industrial neighbourhood, rich in ancient and contemporary lore. Street names trigger memories of the betrayal of Braveheart in 1305, and the Glencoe Massacre in 1692. P Burns was tried for fraud in the Coal Conspiracy Case in 1886. Nacan Products showered the neighbourhood with toxic yellow rain in the 1970's. A Cooper's Hawk might be spotted on the Tower Automotive Building. Check out the Warren Pony Truss design on the pedestrian bridge spanning the rail lines.
Details: A 2-hour, 3 km linear heritage walk along mostly paved, fairly flat surfaces. Some stairs.
