Let's connect and truly understand our city! That is the true path to peace!

This walk is in honour of Holocaust Remembrance Day!

This tour starts in the old "Ward" on the steps of Old City Hall, and ends at the Kiever Shul in Kensington Market.

We will weave our way through Baldwin Village the real heart of the Jewish community in Toronto. Most information in books about Toronto's Jewish community tends to forget that Baldwin Village was the epic centre of the migration west out of the "Ward," and that the world famous Baycrest Hospital was established in Baldwin Village.

The migration west continued in the early to mid twentieth century, and the Jewish residents established the Jewish Market in Kensington Market, and from there to Bathurst and Lawrence area.

A fascinating story of heartbreak and heroism amid the horror of war and holocaust. An important walk for us all! A lesson from the past needed today!

Along the way we will explore the history of the Jewish Community, The Christie Pits Riot, the infamous Swastika Club of Woodbine Beach, The Holocaust, and Toronto's place before, during and after this sad and tragic historical event. Our tour begins in the mid-19th century, and ends with the liberation of Europe in May of 1945. We will discuss ways to promote this history and how to tackle intolerance!

This is our fifth annual event!

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 as well. Hope to see you there.

This walking tour begins on the steps of Old City Hall and ends in Kensington Market.
