Description
Event participants pose around a new plaque installed in Greenwood Park, a former quarry site. For more than 150 years, Greenwood Avenue was an important centre of brickmaking in Toronto. Quarries and kilns were a common feature of the landscape south of Danforth Avenue. Entire families were employed in this industry that made the east-end and helped build Toronto.
