May 2, 2019 (Toronto, Ontario) – Today, Heritage Toronto is pleased to announce the launch of our annual Tours program presented by TD Bank Group. In 2019, we celebrate 25 years of this free public program which has travelled thousands of kilometers across the city.
"This 25th season continues our tradition of sharing important stories with new audiences", says Allison Bain, Executive Director of Heritage Toronto. "This year, we are working with young people in our Emerging Historians program to bring under-represented voices and perspectives to the stories that define our city".

While the City of Toronto is working to improve its complex system of underground sewers, these improvements alone cannot completely protect a home from basement flooding. With increasingly severe weather events, it is essential that homeowners take steps to help protect their home from basement flooding.
