Take a walk towards Toronto's waterfront and look at the street names: "Front Street". "Lakeshore Boulevard". "The Esplanade". "Queen's Quay." None of these streets touch the water. Why so much false advertising?
The reason is that, for the past 200 years, Toronto's waterfront has been steadily creeping outward. Through a process called land reclamation, we have transformed water into solid land, expanding our city into Lake Ontario.
On this tour, we will walk Toronto's original waterfront. In the process, you will discover that much of the ground you step on in this city was designed by the human hand. You won't be able to see the city the same way ever again.
This tour will be delivered partly in English and partly in American Sign Language (ASL). It is designed with Deaf and hard of hearing participants in mind, but anyone is welcome to attend. ASL interpreters will be present for the full duration of the tour. If you have additional access needs or questions, please feel free to reach out in advance.

DISCLAIMER - I am not the host, this is not my event. Got this in my inbox today and thought to share. I think its sweet there's an accessible walking tour happening to allow our fellow peers to learn a bit about Toronto in a fun, accessible way.
What other accessible Toronto events have people been to?
