“For illustrations, please look closely at real cities. While you are looking, you might as well also listen, linger, and think about what you see.”

Architectural/social historian Alec Keefer, President of Architectural Conservancy Toronto, will lead a walk of Parkdale. Long considered one of the finest shopping districts in the city, Queen Street will be examined starting at the south side of the intersection of Roncesvalles and King at the bridge to Sunnyside moving east to Dufferin Street. The walk will include a survey of 130 years of community infrastructure and commercial buildings. The walk will wrap up at the Gladstone Hotel. This walk is being done on behalf of the Parkdale Community Information Centre, a non-profit with 30 years of connecting people and services in Parkdale.
