Named for the wild roses that littered the hills above the homestead of William Jarvis and his wife Mary, Rosedale is an iconic Toronto district with elegant houses, manicured lawns, and a fascinating history!

Yorkville to the south is tied in with the history of Rosedale, and runs parallel to the development of both the neighbourhood and the surrounding area. With the Yorkville Brick Works, and the tidy ravine to the east it was a picturesque part of Toronto that remained pretty much rural into the late 19th century.

On this walking tour we explore how Rosedale emerged as an affluent Toronto suburb, but all was not good, as the district approached the 1930s depression. With a large proportion of rooming houses, Rosedale slipped in influence.

This walking tour is for all walking levels and fitness skills. Please dress for the season and bring water. And remember to bring your love of history.

This tour begins across the street from the Rosedale Subway Station in Ramsden Park. The tour returns to the start location after the walk!

This tour has a ticket price of $15.00 per person!
