Get out and explore! A brilliant spring tour awaits, and let's celebrate the coming summer. This is the perfect Sunday walk.

Known as Sunnybrook Farm, situated in Leaside, it was owned by Joseph and Alice Kilgour and turned over to the City of Toronto in 1928 as a public park.

Joseph Kilgour was President of the Canada Paper Company. He and his wife purchased the property in the 1890s in the suburban fringe.

In 1933, Kilgour Memorial Gates and plaque at Wilket Creek Park were added to honour the Kilgour family. The park is a quiet oasis in the heart of the city. But it's also about treasured Canadian history and our beloved Veterans who now call Sunnybrook Hospital home.

The Kilgour family gave the land for a hospital to be erected while the old veterans centre on Christie Street was literally falling apart. That's the way to treat the Veterans who fought for our freedom, put them in a cold, wet hospital to recover, way to go I must say!

This walking tour is for all walking levels and fitness skills, however there are a few small hills. Please dress for the season and bring water. And remember to bring your love of history as well. Hope to see you there.

This walking tour begins and ends at the main entrance of Edwards Gardens, 755 Lawrence Ave East, adjacent to the Lawrence Avenue TTC bus stop and parking lot!

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