Walk the streets of Willowdale with us to learn about the rich tapestry of characters who have called our neighbourhood home. Together, we’ll meet rebels and rock stars, authors, architects, and of course, a famous mayor. Our walk will offer a glimpses into Willowdale’s time as a rebellious farming settlement far north of Toronto. Then, Willowdale became a mostly quiet suburb that was punctuated by steamy double bills at the local movie house, and rowdy teenagers at the local burger shack. And, we’ll hear about modern times, as Willowdale has transformed into the “Miracle on Yonge Street”.
