Once a neighbourhood full of grand Victorian houses on every corner, St James Town is now known as the largest high-rise community in Canada. Once a centre for the young, single lifestyle in the 1960s, it is now home to diverse cultures and communities.
Join us as we explore all of what St James Town has to offer.
We are excited to host in-person tours again and ask for your help and patience in making the experience as safe as possible for everyone. All in-person events will follow Toronto Public Health guidelines and enhanced Heritage Toronto safety measures including:
You will not be able to join a Tour group if you have not registered ahead of time through our website.
We have purchased individual sound systems to ensure physical distancing and improve the quality of the experience. Your system will be synched to a transmitter worn by the tour leader. It will sound like the tour leader is standing right next to you, even if you are 20 feet apart!
To offset the cost of administering, purchasing and sanitizing all equipment, a $20 fee is required for all in-person tours this year and must be paid in advance when registering.
The number of people that can safely gather on tour will be determined by Public Health guidelines and may change over the course of the Tours season.
This will include contact tracing and self-screening for all participants.
We will also be introducing contactless payment methods on Tours for people who wish to make a donation to our charity.
For everyone’s safety and comfort, we respectfully ask all participants to wear a mask during in-person tours. Masks will be available upon request.
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.
Many of our tours are developed and led by those who are part of our Emerging Historians program.
