Explore the intriguing past of a typical Toronto streetcar neighbourhood developed in the late 19th and early 20th Century.

Highlights include a discussion of the area’s classic planning template which includes a park at the centre, a commercial strip at Dovercourt/Hallam, and corner stores that interact with the sidewalk. We’ll also talk about the history of place names like Dovercourt and Hallam and find out about some interesting people that have come from the neighbourhood including Marilyn Bell.
