Bridging the Don: The Prince Edward Viaduct
Led by Lori Zuppinger, Todmorden Mills, who will be wearing a red TO Historic Sites Shirt
9:15 am – 11:15 am| Meet at Southeast corner of Bloor & Sherbourne
Opened in three phases concluding in 1919, the Prince Edward (Bloor) Viaduct is such an iconic part of the cityscape that it is hard to imagine Toronto without it. But bridging this gap between east and west was a massive challenge – and not just in the technical sense. Join us for a guided walk and learn about the controversy over what was once called a ‘bridge to nowhere’, as well as the viaduct’s impact on the neighbourhoods on either side of the Don Valley.
Walk ends at Chester subway station.
