Itinerary:

We'll be starting our exploration at Spadina Station, main entrance. From there we'll be heading North.

Things we'll see along the way include the Toronto Archive building , Casa Loma, Spadina House, Wychwood barns . Then we'll continue West on St Clair to see how the long delayed streetcar lines have impacted the neighbourhood.

We'll conclude our hike with a free ride on a TTC heritage streetcar running between Bathurst and Lansdowne. The heritage streetcars are the red-maroon and yellow "Presidents' Conference Committee" streetcars that first operated in Toronto in the late 1930s and ended in the mid-1980s. These PCC streetcars are a real treat that will take you down memory lane to Toronto's past.
