Heritage Toronto and the Creating Toronto Walk


Here is a great CP24 video profile of Heritage Toronto's walking tour that focuses on the very popular St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Walk called "Creating Toronto"

We encourage all to take the "Creating Toronto Walk" and view the two historic plaques that were purchased by the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Association to help visitors and residents alike to learn more about the creation of our city and in particular the role of our historic neighbourhood.
