A Stroll Along the Shore: from First Peoples to the Arts and Crafts Suburbs
Author Jane Fairburn joins Karin Eaton and Marie Belanger on a walk inspired by her book “Along the Shore: Rediscovering Toronto’s Waterfront Heritage”. Engaging stories covering Aboriginal, French and British settlements will abound as we walk the upper bluffs and up the Cinders Path. The rich arts and crafts history of Chine Drive, historic murals and a special performance of Scarborough poet Sandy Glendinning’s “Away Wi’ Scarboro’s Muddy Creeks” highlight this rich and special walk. Six stops are highlighted; there are more to experience on the route.
To see what at local Jane’s Walk is like, check out our coverage of Birch Cliff’s first walk last year.
