Where is Toronto's Waterfront? [SOLD OUT]

​"Front Street". "Lakeshore Boulevard". "The Esplanade". "Queen's Quay." None of these streets touch the water. Why so many false flags? The reason is that, for the past 200 years, Toronto's waterfront has been steadily creeping outward. Through a process called land reclamation, we have transformed water into solid land, expanding our city into Lake Ontario.

​On this tour, we will walk Toronto's original waterfront. In the process, you will discover that much of the ground you step on in this city was designed by the human hand. Some find this revelation unsettling. Your fellow tour-takers will be here to support you.

​Duration: 3hrs
