In celebration of Greek Heritage Month this March, the TDSB partnered with the Hellenic Heritage Foundation (HHF) to present The Danforth: A Historical Walk Through Toronto’s Greek Town, an immersive walking tour of Danforth Avenue. This engaging experience introduced students to the vibrant history and architecture of Greektown, fostering a deeper connection to Toronto’s diverse cultural landscape.
The 90-minute tour offered students a glimpse into the lives of Toronto’s Greek community by exploring the domestic, religious, social, and political landmarks along Danforth Avenue. Delivered by HHF guides, the tour highlighted the Danforth as an essential hub for new immigrant groups over the years.
During the month over 30 tours will host over 1,195 students, providing a valuable opportunity for students to engage with local history and gain insight into the contributions of Greek Canadians and the lasting impact of Greektown on Toronto’s cultural identity.
