This fascinating area is where Toronto developed beginning in the early 1800s. Some of our most significant heritage buildings are here, including Canada’s oldest bank building and the Flatiron Building. Condominiums have recently joined quaint shops, repurposed warehouses, and the city’s largest cathedral. Our tour will include an innovative 21st‐century park.
