Jane’s Walk: Parliament Street

Cabbagetown is known for its Victorian streetscape, noted by many as one of the largest collections of preserved Victorian houses in North America, much of which falls under multiple designated heritage conservation districts.

Just like the neighbourhood they serve, the main streets of this community went through periods of prosperity and stagnation. Come walk with us and hear the stories of Cabbagetown’s main streets. They are both are witnesses to Toronto’s history but also an increasingly desired destination, part of a modern vibrant city.

This walk will start at the southwest corner of Sherbourne and Carlton streets (entrance to Allan Gardens) and will end at Parliament and Winchester streets.

Accessibility notes: There may be busy sidewalks and loud noises. There will be rest breaks. This walk is a joint effort of the Cabbagetown BIA and Gilles Huot of the Cabbagetown Preservation Association.
