Bloor Street West used to be the hub of Greek life in Toronto during the 1950s and 1960s. With a focus on the working lives of Greek immigrants, we’ll recreate the neighbourhood that welcomed new immigrants and allowed them to function in their new country but still speak Greek and shop in places familiar to them.
This tour was developed and will be led by a volunteer from the Hellenic Heritage Foundation.
