This is a continuation of the first part centred on Baby Point. This tour can be taken as a part two, or as a stand alone tour!

The Toronto Carrying Place, and the birth of Toronto are connected in many historic ways, physically, socially, and spiritually as well! The historic path at one time connected the northern shore of Lake Ontario with the Great Lakes especially Lake Simcoe and Lake Huron, and to the vast region known as Huronia, or centred around Midland, Ontario.

The entire area was known as Tkaronto, from the old Mohawk term "where trees gathered in water."

Teiaiagon, the small Seneca village on the Humber River, was named for the crossing of the Toronto Carrying Place, and is now part of the Baby Point neighbourhood!

On this walk we explore the history of the Toronto Carrying Place south from Bloor Street West to the mouth of the Humber River, and discuss the personalities who came to the area, and travelled this very path from Jean Baptiste Rousseau, the first French fur trader, to Robert La Salle the explorer of the mighty Mississippi River and many others.

This walk is for most walking levels and fitness skills with 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 on the west side of Jane Street and Bloor Street West opposite the Jane Subway Station. We end our journey at The Queensway and The South Kingsway which is adjacent to several TTC routes.

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