Description
Having stopped by the Heritage Toronto tent at the St. Lawrence Market, visitors joined an emerging historian for a quick tour of the area. Here, they learn about Berczy Park, in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood, named after William Berczy, an early colonial surveyor. They stand before a recent addition - the much photographed dog fountain. Designed by landscape architect Claude Cormier, it features 27 cast iron dogs and one cat.
