HUMBER RIVER TOURThe Humber was once an important transportation, used by many native nations and look at how they were brought into trade wars once the French, Dutch and British arrived. This tour will visit the site of a Seneca village that was burned down by a French army and replaced it with a fort, see how a series of mills were built in the area, and how they were replaced with residential developments. It will also look at the devastating effects of Hurricane Hazel, and the efforts to restore nature in the area since then. The tour will cover the history of the Humber River and also use it as a tool to tell the history of the whole city from long before Europeans arrived in the area to the present day.
This tour is still a work in progress and will be part of our Tuesday work in progress series.
