Once the site of international companies that employed thousands of workers in Toronto’s east end, today, this Leslieville neighbourhood is a thriving residential and cultural hub known for the adaptive reuse of its factories.
Virtual tours are held via Zoom, are led in real-time by a tour guide, and last approximately 90 minutes.
Registration is required. A Zoom link will be emailed to registrants prior to the online event.
Donor support allows us to offer this digital event without charging a ticket fee. If you share our passion for accessible and inclusive heritage programming, we invite you to include a donation with registration. Gifts of $20+ will receive a charitable tax receipt.
About your tour guide: Chris Bateman is the Plaques Manager at Heritage Toronto and a freelance writer who specializes in Toronto’s history.
For over 25 years we have been touring through the city with groups, learning some fun facts, little-known stories, and about the amazing people that have contributed to Toronto's heritage.
