2024

City of Toronto  Archives Facility Tour

Toronto, ON

329 Chaplin Crescent (Eglinton / Spadina area)

Possibly Late Fall 

Date and Time to be determined based on group interest

The City of Toronto has a large warehouse storage facility containing items from shuttered museums and collectable donated to the municipality. Included in their collection is a range of full sized canoes, model canoes, paddles, historic photographs and medals from Toronto's rich canoe history. If there is enough member interest, we can plan a private group tour of the main storage site near Eglinton & Spadina. 

Items in the collection include a high-end Walter Dean Sunnyside cruiser, a William English Board & Batten (circa 1900), a circa 1910 Kennebec, and a rare decked sailing canoe from the Gilbert Boat Company (Brockville) dated to 1910. Also of interest are remnants of a dugout canoe collected just west of Parry Sound, ON and radiocarbon dated to no later than 1683 AD.
