Overview
Dave is an urban storyteller and history enthusiast dedicated to peeling back the layers of Toronto’s modern facade to reveal the "Muddy York" that lies beneath. This tour brings the city's original 10 blocks to life through obscure and humorous storytelling seeking to connect the dots between 19th-century political resistance and Toronto’s contemporary role as a cinematic and artistic hub. Join me as we trace the "shadow map" of the city, visiting the site of the 1838 public executions at Courthouse Square and uncovering hidden Banksy murals that have survived the city's constant redevelopment.
In my walking tour, I dive into the scandalous and heroic tales that shaped our home. From the unjust dismissal of Postmaster Howard during the 1837 Rebellion to the whimsical dog fountain at Berczy Park, join me for a walk that proves Toronto’s history is hiding in plain sight.
This is a free tour.
