Self Guided Scavenger Hunts
Looking for something fun to do in our neighbourhood while learning about our history and heritage? We created these scavenger hunts just for you! Download the PDF document linked below to get started.
Every year, we offer curated group guided tours. On most years, these are offered in partnership with Heritage Toronto. These focus on various aspects of Cabbagetown: history, architecture, people, etc. We also often venture into one or both magnificent cemeteries situated in Cabbagetown: the Toronto Necropolis and the St. James Cemetery and Crematorium.
Heritage Toronto staff are currently planning the next season, which is anticipated to begin in late spring 2026.
