Hear gravesite tales that feature notable Black community members buried at the Toronto Necropolis (one of the city’s oldest cemeteries), from freedom seekers to business leaders, from restaurateurs to Canada’s first Black postman.
We’re excited to offer free tour experiences this season at community and special events. These meet-ups will happen at our tent. Say hello and check in for the day’s schedule of short and engaging walks featuring highlights of the local area’s heritage delivered by our emerging historians. See you there!
Join us at the Heritage Toronto tent to explore the lives and stories of notable Black community members buried at the Toronto Necropolis. Thirty-minute guided tours will be offered ever hour throughout the afternoon, beginning at 3:15pm. The last tour of the evening will depart at 6:15pm.
These events are free and no pre-registration is required.
Note: Certain portions of the tours may include walking on uneven terrain. Due to ongoing construction in the area, tour accessibility may be affected. Please contact Heritage Toronto at 416-338-0684 or [email protected] for more information.
If you share our passion for accessible and inclusive heritage programming, we invite you to make a donation to help fund one of our next events. Volunteers at our tent will be equipped to accept both cash and contactless donations, and gifts of $20+ will receive a charitable tax receipt.
