Heritage Highlight: Tour The Esplanade

By Bruce Bell

FREE Walking Tour of the Esplanade with Historian Extraordinaire Bruce Bell

Sat October 31 at 10am- 90 mins

The Esplanade today is world famous as a leader of Urban planning.

It has shown other cities what can be accomplished when intelligent thought goes into mixed and affordable housing. But it wasn't always like this.

In 1966 historian F.H. Armstrong wrote in his book- Toronto- of its crumbling deterioration:

'The Esplanade today is so completely cut off from the lake that what was intended as the showplace of the city has become one of its most unprepossessing byways.' 

In the 1970's heavy industry moved out of the city, old factories that at one time lined Sherbourne, George and Princess Street came down or were remodeled, train tracks were torn up and The Esplanade as we know today was born.

In 1973 it was decided by then mayor David Crombie to turn the area into a new residential neighbourhood, but one that would not make the same mistakes of the “urban renewal” housing projects of earlier decades.

It would contain a mix of commercial and residential as with both subsidized and market oriented housing, mostly rowhouses or low-rise apartments.

The neighbourhood was planned by Alan Littlewood and Frank Lewinberg, with the influence of American-Canadian urban activist Jane Jacobs playing a crucial role.

Since that time, the St. Lawrence neighbourhood has been critically acclaimed as a major success in urban planning.
In many ways, it has become the model for the design and planning of new urban communities across North America.

Come join me an for a 90-minute walking tour of The Esplanade on Saturday, October 31, at 10am.

From its beginning as a First Nations fishing locale to the coming of the British in 1793 and its heyday as an industrial powerhouse filled with coal heaps and furnaces, to the coming of St Lawrence Market, today The Esplanade is one of Toronto's most sought after neighbourhoods.

This tour is limited to 15 people in keeping with the Ontario Government's COVID 19 guidelines. The tour is FREE however gratuities are welcome ($10 to $20 is suggested).

Meeting place: First Parliament Site at Berkeley & The Esplanade

Tour ends at St Lawrence Market and is wheelchair friendly.

Reservations are a must so please contact Bruce Bell at [email protected] to make a reservation or phone 647-393-8687 between 9am and 5pm.
