Click here: Sunnylea: Glimpses of the Past Hiding in Plain Sight
Led by Pamela Gough and Heather Gough
10:30 am – 12:15 pm | Meet at Royal York Subway Station by Royal York and Bloor St. Walk leaders will be holding a Jane’s Walk sign.
Discover the many clues to the past hidden in plain sight in the small Etobicoke community of Sunnylea. Join former Etobicoke-Lakeshore public school trustee Pamela Gough and her daughter, raised in Sunnylea, on a walk through this quiet leafy neighbourhood. You’ll see evidence of the original forests and farmlands & visit the WW2 era school with a bomb shelter in its basement that gave the community its name. You’ll hear stories of dislocation, triumph, heroism and heartbreak. As we connect with the past, we’ll also talk about what the future might hold for Sunnylea.
Walk ends at Grenview Blvd and Bloor Street
