• Downtown Toronto - On this walking tour we will learn about Toronto’s humble beginnings. We will journey along Toronto’s former waterfront and through the site of the tiny settlement of York, which was first established here in the 1790s. Next, we’ll visit the former site of the cramped tenement slums where many of Toronto’s first immigrant communities settled in the mid-1800s, and then we will end our journey in the business district when Toronto stood on the cusp of the Industrial Revolution.

• Explore at your own pace with a self-guided walking tour.

The ‘On This Spot’ application guides individuals on walking tours to explore their local history. At every halt of their adventure, users find themselves at a location where a historic photo was captured. They get to see a comparison of past and present photos, use an integrated camera to take their own picture, and learn about regional history and its connection to the wider human journey.
