Date: Sunday, October 27

Time:  8:30 AM to 11:10 AM (approximated travel time included)

Established west of the original town of York (later Toronto), this area includes a 19th‐century
military graveyard, repurposed factories, upscale condominiums, and part of the Entertainment
District. We’ll also visit a street seemingly frozen in the late 1800s. Wellington Place truly
illustrates the changing roles of Toronto – from military garrison, to manufacturing centre, to
entertainment destination and 21st‐century neighbourhood.
