Description
On this tour along Spadina Avenue, tour participants learn about the shifting demographics that saw a thriving Jewish community transition to Toronto’s Chinatown.
Here, they explore Huron Street Public Square. A partnership of the Chinatown Toronto BIA and city, the square was designed by local architect Jyhling Lee and includes a set of pagoda-inspired structures displaying animals from the Chinese zodiac, decorative red benches, and a statue of a Qilin, a mythical Asian creature that symbolizes good luck and prosperity.
