Description
The tour group stands on the shore of Lake Ontario, on the Western Channel, near the Canada Malting silos - one of only two remaining on waterfront. A remnant of Toronto's industrial and shipping past, they were built in 1928 to store malt. Before this, grain elevators were often built more cheaply, out of wood, which left them vulnerable to fire. These ones were rather unique for the time, as they were built out of concrete. Abandoned in the early 1980s, they are now a designated historical site.
