Above is a picture of the old Post Office in Toronto. The perfect place to start - The Toronto Trail. A walking trail that links Toronto's most beloved heritage buildings and sights, and the stories attached. For residents and visitors alike this trail will help to bring history alive for all.

Toronto Trail Sites include stops that trace the birth and westward development of Toronto under Peter Russel. Stops which tell the fascinating story of Toronto.

This walking trail links 25 historic sites, and over time I hope to include many more in an historic loop. From the great fires to the banking halls of the 20th century to the hanging yards at Court Street and Toronto Street, the centre of modern cruelty, where thousands gathered to watch men die at the end of the rope.

The opulent hotels, and banking halls that made Toronto one of the fastest growing cities in North America are explored. I travel little known lanes, and the stories about them, of people and families, which contributed to the very fabric of our city. Stories that have been forgotten over time, and need to be retold.

Toronto is a city of many tales from many cultures, and our history has not been told. Hopefully, the Toronto Trail will fill in some of those missing blanks.

This walking tour is for all fitness levels and skills. Please dress for the weather. This walking tour begins outside the old Post Office at Adelaide Street East and George Street just north of the George Brown College, St. James Campus.

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