SUMMARY:La Société d'histoire de Toronto HISTORITOUR - MUD RIVER
DESCRIPTION:LA MUD RIVER DE LYTTON PARK À YONGE ET EGLINTON \nSamedi 16 mai 2026 à 13h \nDépart : Lytton Park sur Avenue Road à quelques mètres de la rue Lytton. Le bus #61 s’arrête à la rue Lytton – vous pouvez le prendre à la station de métro Eglinton (ligne 1) ou à la station Avenue (ligne 5) en traversant la rue\, l’arrêt pour le bus #61 est au coin nord/est d’Avenue Road et d’Eglinton ouest\nArrivée : Métro Eglinton (ligne 1) \nGuides : Nicole Baboulène et Rolande Smith\nQuelques petites côtes \nLa Mud River est une des nombreuses ‘’rivières cachées’’ (Lost Rivers) de Toronto. Nous suivrons – en surface – ses traces sur un petit parcours. Elle prend sa source à la hauteur du parc Downsview\, et se jette dans la rivière Don près des Brick Works. Bien qu’enterrée\, il est possible de suivre son cours grâce aux variations de terrain dans le quartier. \nUn quartier qui fut un temps connu et occupé par des Premières Nations. Plus tard il y eut des usines\, des maraîchages\, un club de chasse et bien plus. Maintenant c’est un quartier résidentiel que nous découvrirons ensemble. \nLa Société d’histoire de Toronto passe le chapeau à la fin \nContacts : info@sht.ca ou smth7631@rogers.com

SUMMARY:Doors Open Toronto @ John McKenzie House
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Ontario Historical Society and the historic John McKenzie House during 2025 Doors Open Toronto. Visitors will have the chance to explore the historic house and headquarters of the OHS\, and learn how the historic building was saved by the community\, and still functions as an active community space to this day. \nThe John McKenzie House was built in 1913\, in a style described as Queen Anne Revival\, Arts and Crafts\, and Edwardian. The grand\, red brick house is profiled by a large L-shaped veranda with stylized Doric columns. Significant interior features include the centre hall plan\, a vestibule door and sidelights with beveled and leaded glass\, a large leaded art glass window that lights the landing of the main staircase\, panelled doors\, and original radiators. In 1993\, the Ontario Historical Society (OHS) entered into a partnership with the former City of North York to preserve and restore the John McKenzie House\, which serves as the provincial headquarters of the OHS.
