  • Church-Wellesley Village
    May 26 2023

    Happy almost Pride!

    It’s the perfect time of year to experience the streets of Toronto’s Church-Wellesley Village, often called “The Village” or Toronto’s “Gay Village”. This tour is rich with the LGBTQIA2S+ history of both Toronto and Canada, with stories covering former village inhabitants, activists, businesses, and more. Naturally, we also learn a lot about the historic buildings in the village, including some that are under threat.

    This episode is a collaboration with Adam Wynne, a community historian and the historian for the Church-Wellesley Neighbourhood Association. He researched and wrote this tour, and sometimes even hosts tours in person! If you’d like to contact Adam about future tours, you can email him at
    adam.g.wynne@gmail.com. You can also find more of his work at https://www.cwna.ca/ and https://www.acotoronto.ca/tobuilt.php

  • TIFF & Toronto's Entertainment District
    Sep 9 2022

    Are you ready to be entertained?!

    We’re heading into the Entertainment District: home to the Toronto International Film Festival, as well as a LOT of Toronto history.

    We’ll of course talk about the festival, but also: Fashion! Comedy! Dance clubs! Warehouses! And the intersection known as “Education, Legislation, Salvation, and DAMNATION”.

    As usual, each stop is divided by 30 seconds of ambiance, so you'll feel like you’re there even if you prefer your entertainment on your couch.

    Walk-Along Info:
    Walk length: About an hour
    Accessibility: fairly flat, lots of paved roads and sidewalks BUT can be challenging to get around during TIFF's Festival Street if you're not walking
    Start: Simcoe and King St. W
    End: John St. and King St. W
