Explore over 150 years of unique architectural history in and around the University of Toronto’s St. George Campus.

How can we preserve our city’s past while meeting the needs of the future? What defines heritage and how can it help us reimagine architecture?

Led by Joël León of the Toronto Society of Architects, this walk delves into how architects have repaired, adapted, and rebuilt some of the earliest structures in the area.

Get to know one of the most remarkable architectural collections in Canada, taking stock of buildings such as the Royal Ontario Museum, the Faculty of Arts and Science, and Robarts Library.
