A fascinating tour, so don't miss it. If you are new to Toronto then this tour is for you! The Scarborough Bluffs is Toronto's best kept secret. Known as "Les Grands Ecores." by the French, and in 1788 Alexander Aitken, called the bluffs the High Lands. A hidden gem in Toronto which hides many secrets. Elizabeth Simcoe named the Bluffs the Scarborough Highlands in 1793 and had reminded Elizabeth Simcoe of the limestone cliffs back in England, in her own words from her diary: "The shore is extremely bold and has the appearance of chalk cliffs, but I believe they are only white sand. They appeared so well that we talked of building a summer residence there and calling it Scarborough." The Scarborough Bluffs extended west along the coastline of Lake Ontario towards the town of York and later Toronto, but vast areas along the western edge were razed for industrial and residential development. The formation of the chalk cliffs continues to shrink due to erosion. The price of this tour is $15.00 per person This extensive walking tour begins at Bluffers Park Road and Brimley Road South, south of Kingston Road near the lake at the marina stop! The 201 Bluffers Park Bus leaves Kennedy Subway Station every 15 minutes. Hope to see you there! \*\* **Please note: Please e-transfer the ticket amount when booking your space for this tour!

The History of the Eaton Centre (NEW for 2026)

**The Toronto History Walks Explorer Pass is available. Get it now for $125.00 for 1 year of unlimited tours, email** **torontohistorywalks@gmail.com** **for more information or for signing up!** Most people visit Toronto's Eaton Centre to shop, and it's a great place to do just that. But few realize they are walking through one of the city's greatest stories of ambition, controversy, architecture, and change. Join me as we step beyond the storefronts to uncover the remarkable history hidden beneath the soaring glass roof of the galleria. Discover how this world famous complex rose from a maze of Victorian streets, warehouses, theatres, and historic buildings, and learn why one of Toronto's largest redevelopment projects almost resulted in the demolition of Old City Hall and the beloved Church of the Holy Trinity. This fascinating walking tour explores nearly 160 years of Toronto history, beginning with the extraordinary rise of Timothy Eaton and the department store that transformed shopping into the "art of shopping," almost overnight. We'll examine the neighbourhood that existed before the Eaton Centre, meet some of the colourful characters who worked and lived here, and trace the dramatic battles between developers, preservationists, politicians, and citizens that forever changed the face of downtown Toronto. Along the way, you'll see surviving landmarks, forgotten streets, hidden architectural secrets, and public art that millions pass every year without noticing. You'll also discover why the Eaton Centre became an international model for shopping centre design, admire its spectacular vaulted glass ceiling, and hear the stories behind the famous flock of suspended Canada geese. We'll explore how the complex evolved through the decline of the Eaton's department store, and the arrival of new retailers, that helped redefine the downtown core. From engineering marvels to architectural triumphs, this is the story of how a shopping mall became one of Canada's most recognizable landmarks. Whether you're a lifelong Torontonian, a first-time visitor, a lover of architecture, or someone fascinated by urban history, this tour offers a new perspective on a place you thought you knew. By the end of our walk, you'll never look at the Eaton Centre the same way again, I promise. Come and discover the hidden history beneath the glass canopy, and experience one of Toronto's most compelling stories. This event is for all levels and walkers, there are a few steps here and there to navigate, but mostly on one level. This walking tour begins on the steps of Old City Hall at the northeast corner of Bay Street and Queen Street West, and has a ticket price of $15.00 per person. **Please note: Please e-transfer the ticket amount when booking your space for this tour!

Landmarks 4: The British Coffee House to Victoria Square (NEW)

**The Toronto History Walks Yearly Pass is available. Get it now for $125.00 for 1 year of unlimited tours, email** **torontohistorywalks@gmail.com** **for more information or for signing up!** \*\* **Please note: Please e-transfer the ticket amount when booking your space for this tour! You can e-transfer to the following email at:** **torontohistorywalks@gmail.com** In this new volume, Landmarks 4 revisits the site of some of Toronto's urban legends, and historic buildings that gave rise to the city. This walk's focus is on the King Street West, Portland Street and lower Bathurst Street area From there we wander around the area taking in landmarks not otherwise explored on other Toronto History Walks tours. So get your brains and feet ready for a workout my friends. The British coffee house at the corner of King Street West and York Street in the old Chewett building dates from the 1830s. However, after the demise of the coffee house it became one of Toronto's best hotels the Rossin House. There is also a connection to one of Toronto's best known characters, John Howard of High Park fame and the provincial Lunatic Asylum. It was in this building that John Howard lived until his country home out in High Park was completed. Victoria Square is a little known gem in the heart of Toronto, and some of our earliest history begins there. So this tour returns walkers to the time period between 1812 and 1880 and everything in between. Toronto is a city that hides its history in plain sight. Beneath the glass towers are layers of stories — grand hotels that vanished overnight, political scandals whispered through stone corridors, theatres that once glittered under gaslight, and laneways where the city first learned how to become a metropolis. This new Toronto History Walks series of 60 different walking tours invites the walker to slow down, and see the city differently. Over the course of 30 carefully chosen stops, this walking tour traces the landmarks that helped shape the history of Toronto. Beginning at the site of the legendary Holland House — once one of the city’s finest mansions, and a gathering place for politicians, and businessmen, the routes wind through the city uncovering stories both famous and forgotten. Some locations are grand and imposing. Others are easy to walk past without a second glance. Every stop reveals a piece of Toronto’s personality. At Osgoode Hall, visitors will stand before one of the city’s most elegant historic buildings. Nearby, the old banks and newspaper buildings of the financial district recall an era when Toronto proudly called itself “Toronto the Good,” even as corruption and backroom dealings simmered beneath the surface. The tour also explores the vanished city — the Toronto that survives only in photographs, and memory. Walkers will discover where magnificent Victorian structures once stood before demolition crews erased entire blocks in the name of progress. Former theatres, hotels, markets, and department stores emerge again through storytelling, helping modern explorers imagine the bustle, smoke, and noise of earlier generations. Stories of fire, disaster, celebration, and reinvention. Participants will hear how the Great Fire of 1904 transformed downtown streets, how immigrant communities reshaped neighbourhoods block by block, and how Toronto repeatedly reinvented itself through booms, depressions, wars, and waves of newcomers. But this tour is not simply about dates and buildings. It is about people. The politicians who argued over Confederation. The hotel clerks who witnessed scandals. The newspaper editors who shaped public opinion. The shopkeepers, labourers, entertainers, and ordinary Torontonians whose lives unfolded along these same streets. Toronto has always had hidden corners and strange tales: tunnels beneath streets, forgotten cemeteries beneath office towers, unsolved crimes, and buildings said to carry echoes of the past. Even longtime residents may find themselves surprised by what has been quietly standing before them all along. Come along and experience a very different city. A deep dive into our history. This walking tour begins at the southeast **corner** of King Street West and York Street, just ignore the entire 11th floor that's a flaw in the directions app within Meetup, I will be on the ground floor, trust me! We end our tour at Victoria Square near Portland and Wellington Street. This walking tour is for all walking levels. Please dress for the season, and hope to see you there. This tour has a ticket price of $15.00 per person. \*\* **Please note: Please e-transfer the ticket amount when booking your space for this tour!
