Exploring The Heart of Downtown Toronto
Overview
We meet at Nathan Phillips Square, discuss the history and significance of the square, City Hall, and the Toronto Sign. We view the adjacent Spirit Gardens as a contemplative Indigenous cultural space. Next, visit the exterior of Osgoode Hall and then the Canada Life Building, and learn about its weather beacon. Afterwards, we visit Dreaming by Jaume Plensa, followed by two of Canada's tallest buildings. We move on to visit the lobby used in the legal drama Suits, starring Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex. We discover the history of ‘street skateboarding’ in the Financial District and world-renowned TD architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s. Then learn about the Financial District’s global relevance and history, and visit Tembo, the wholesome Mother of Elephants. Afterwards, discover Toronto’s PATH, and visit the Allen Lambert Galleria, followed by a visit to RBC’s headquarters. We view the CN Tower, and finally, we visit Union Station’s exterior and interior.
