New this year: registration is required and there is a cost.

Explore Cabbagetown through a new lens to discover key markers of Toronto’s history and development. From stories of immigration to early public health institutions, from the legacy of the Riverdale Zoo (now Riverdale Farm) to the Women’s Medical College, unpack how Cabbagetown and Riverdale Park West have contributed to the growth of the city.

The Tour will feature the east end of Winchester Street, Riverdale Farm and Park as well as the south end of Cabbagetown that was the location of a few early important Toronto health institutions.

This tour is offered in partnership with Heritage Toronto and was developed and will be led by Gilles Huot. Gilles chairs the CPA Walking Tour and Cabbagetown People committees. Gilles also volunteers with other organizations such as the Royal Ontario Museum and la Société d’histoire de Toronto.

Please note that dogs are not permitted.
