About this Event

The Ward and Kensington Market are two distinct neighbourhoods that transformed Toronto. They laid the foundations for our multicultural metropolis back in the days when the city was still a stubbornly British place. In this tour, explore the area’s history while moving between these two historic neighbourhoods. Hear stories about the city’s multicultural roots along with other tales hidden in the streets between the Ward and Kensington – everything from anarchists and runaway horses to dead elephants and demon ghosts.
