Adam's Walk In Our Area This Weekend

I've already mentioned that our city councillor, Adam Vaughan, is planning free Adam's Walks this summer.

Inspired by the Jane's Walk series of walking tours, Vaughan will lead walking tours through various districts in his ward.

This Saturday, his tour takes in Seaton Village and The Annex.

"Date: Saturday, July 10th

Time: 11:30am – 1:30pm

Starting point: Vermont Square Park, by the playground (Palmerston Avenue at Palmerston Gardens)

Join me on a stroll through Seaton Village and the Annex. Learn how residents are working with the City to revitalize and manage parks throughout these two neighbourhoods, from Taddle Creek to Vermont Square.

Explore Bloor Street West and learn how new guidelines now in place will help manage development, and encourage affordability and sustainability along this popular downtown strip.

This tour will also explore how residents are working together to calm traffic and ensure that their neighbourhoods remain safe, livable and lively.

For more information or to RSVP, please call 416-392-4044 or email councillor_vaughan@toronto.ca."

Cheers,

Vanessa

Uno Prii walking tour Feb 21

Have you ever mosied down Walmer Road and marvelled at its circular and wavy shapes? Not only is Walmer itself wavy from Bloor to Kendal, where it intersects with Lowther there is a roundabout, one of the few in the city.
The apartment buildings lining the street also sport a lot of waves and circles. Some of it is the"ultra groovy" work of Estonian-born architect Uno Prii -- yeah baby! -- who created most of his buildings during the swinging '60s and '70s.
If you'd like to know more about him, be sure to reserve a space for a two-hour Feb. 21st walking tour of his Annex apartment buildings. The cost is $20 and the tour is two hours long.
Cheers,
Vanessa
