Explore the shops, laneways, and public spaces that have anchored the Chinese community on Spadina Avenue. Now facing intense redevelopment, this walk will trace the countless stories of advocacy reflected in this built landscape, shaped by migration and displacement, and the renewed activism to preserve its cultural heritage. This tour was developed by historian and architecture professor Erica Allen-Kim and will be led by a member of the Heritage Toronto staff.
