HISTORICAL FALL FESTIVAL – OCT 16 1:30 PM – 4:00 PM

Baird Park, at 275 Keele Street just south of Annette Street

What makes this event historical? We are inviting you to help celebrate the 110th anniversary of the West Toronto Lawn Bowling Club and the 40-plus one years of the West Toronto Junction Historical Society.

Come and join us with a get-together including Lawn Bowling demos and kids’ games. Then join Past WTJHS President Neil Ross for a short presentation and a rollicking Junction walking tour of the neighbourhood.

What kind of historical questions will Neil be able to answer for you? Did the CPR illegally tear down the West Toronto Railway station 40 years ago? Who robbed the Royal Mail before escaping to the U.S.? Why was the Junction dry for nearly 100 years? Just how wild does a town have to get to shut down its own bars? What replaced the bars after they closed?

Come and find out the answer to these questions and more at the WTJHS/West Toronto Lawn Bowling Club’s Historical Fall Festival.

All are welcome!
