New walking tours celebrate Toronto's labour history

| October 19, 2010

On Sept. 1,  three walking tours each covering a different time period and area were unveiled by George Brown College, the Toronto & York Region Labour Council and CUPE Local 179.

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 us to key labour sites from the end of World War II to the present.

The walking tours were developed by the School of Labour at George Brown College and CUPE Local 79's David Kidd, at the request of Toronto and York Region's Labour Council.
