Neighbourhood Walking Tour

Join elders Sabrina Simmons and Jim Williams as they lead this walking tour of the Knox neighbourhood to the North of us. In a leisurely 2 hour walk they’ll help you get to know how Knox Church has influenced the area over the last 200 years, plus lots of fascinating facts and trivia. 

We’ll meet at 1:00pm, directly across from the church on the east side of Spadina (look for the blue umbrella).

The walk takes approximately 2 hours, and there are no washrooms or food on route.
It is recommended you wear comfortable walking shoes and take along some water.

Highlights of areas we’ll visit include Spadina, Bloor Street, Yorkville. Some more fun and fascinating trivia we’ll hear about our neighbourhood:

  • What caused Bloor Street Presbyterian Church to disappear in 1925?

  • In 1975, at what Toronto college could you earn a Phd for $100?

  • A famous couple first met and got married here all within 36 hours! Who & Where?

  • Where can you still find a brewer, blacksmith, brickmaker, carpenter & butcher in Yorkville?
