Local Discoveries: Water Ways Tour #3

Local Discoveries, as part of ArtworxTO
Tour #3 – Water Ways
Distance: 5.2km
Time: 1.5 hours walking

Living close to the lake makes east enders particularly conscious of our relationship to water and waterways. All along Queen East, and down to Lake Ontario, explore murals that take on the theme of water and our relationship to the landscape where we find ourselves. Starting at the Queen St. bridge, we begin this route with the words, “The river I step in is not the river I stand in.” What do those words mean to you? What is your connection to the waterways of Toronto?

This tour is approximately 5km long, and may take around an hour and a half walking (faster if you hop on and off the famous 501 streetcar).
