3 ConEd Learning Hours

A walking tour exploring the innovative buildings and whimsical landscapes of Toronto’s Harbourfront neighbourhood, a pioneer in waterfront revitalization.

Once a busy commercial harbour dominated by warehouses, factories, and seafaring merchants, Toronto’s waterfront is now a place for culture, recreation and coming together at the water’s edge.

Join this guided tour as we take a walk along the quays, slips, and docks, and uncover the stories of a multi-decade transformation through its buildings and landscapes. Along the way, see how old industrial buildings and spaces have been transformed into some of the city’s leading cultural venues and take a look at award-winning residential projects and imaginative landscapes that seek to reconnect Torontonians with their lake. From artist studios to manicured gardens, wetlands to silos, there is so much to see on the waterfront!
