Swansea Historical Society – Governor Simcoe Walking Tour

September 27 @ 9:30 am

We hope you can join us for this year’s version of the Annual Governor Simcoe Walking Tour, to be offered in two parts on Saturday, September 27.  As in past years, this FREE guided walking tour will retrace a portion of Governor Simcoe’s 1793 expedition up the Toronto Carrying Place portage route. Part 1 of the tour will start at 9:30 am at the Rousseau plaque (8 South Kingsway, beside the Petro Canada station), heading north, mainly along Riverside Drive, and finishing near Bloor Street about noon.  After a break for lunch on Bloor Street, Part 2 will start at 1:00 pm at the Alex Ling Fountain (north-west corner of Bloor and Jane Streets), and then head farther north, mainly following residential streets east of the Humber River. Participants are free to join or leave the walk at any point along the route.

All are welcome.
