George Brown College, the Toronto & York Region Labour Council, and CUPE Local 79 have launched a downloadable map that highlights Toronto's labour history through self-guided walking tours of the city.

The map includes three walking tours, each covering a different time period and area: Map A, 19th Century Toronto, begins the city's working history; Map B, Early 20th Century Toronto, records Toronto's early industrial growth; and Map C, Post-War Toronto, takes in key labour sites from the end of World War II to the present.
