Little Jamaica/Oakwood Vaughan
Bill Worrell
This walking tour will be about 100 minutes long, exploring the rich history of the development, and ongoing growth of this old community, from the Indigenous origins, on to being a landing spot for notable waves of newcomers, and the historical significance of Afro-Caribbean presence. We'll be looking at architecture, history, geography, community stories, urban design, and local gossip.
