About the Tour
On this walk, we’ll explore community green spaces and hear stories of wealthy heiresses, war heroes, and everyday families, and how hey are linked to historically significant properties, including a collection of Eden Smith homes and a former Mothercraft hospital and residence.
This tour is led by volunteer tour leader Erin Franklin. Erin has been a volunteer with Heritage Toronto for the past 10 years, volunteering as both a tour leader and community programs assistant. She has a keen interest in exploring the neighbourhoods of Toronto, and has been a resident of the St. Clair West neighbourhood for over 10 years.
