Balmy Beach District Walking Tour

The Haven has arranged for historian and local resident Richard White, author of The Beaches: Creation of a Toronto Neighbourhood (University of Toronto Press) and creator of the website https://torontobeachesneighbourhoodhistory.ca/, to lead a walking tour of the Balmy Beach district, north and south of The Haven, on Sunday September 29, at 10:30 AM. As Richard will explain, the area’s present-day streets and houses and open spaces reveal much about its – and the entire neighbourhood’s – history. The tour will cover about two kilometres, last about 90 minutes, and, be aware, will involve walking up and then down the area’s main hill.

Cost

$15, includes a beverage at The Haven either before the tour.
