Fort York -- Originally this fort was on the shore, near the mouth of Garrison Creek. All the land south of the Fort (left of the fort on this photo) is landfill. The creek, like Russell Creek and Taddle Creek, has been filled in. It is not the first fort in the region. The French had a fort several kilometers east, near the mouth of the Don. But the cannons of this fort controlled the entrance to the harbour.

Stanley Barracks, originally a Naval establishment, latterly the home of the Toronto Maritime Museum, which has now moved to Harbourfront. The old 200 ton Steam Tug the Ned Hanlan is on Permanent Display here.

This modern building, used for trade sows and conferences, when the CNE is not in seession, replace a much older series of building that were used to house livestock, dating to the period when the CNE was an agricultural fair.

An older outdoor stadium sat here. I saw the "hell riders", an automobile daredevils perform here. I saw Bill Cosby perform here. Concerts were held here. Originally the Blue Jays baseball team performed here.

Ontario Place has a venue for outdoor concerts. The Blue Jays now use the Skydome.

The Western part of the CNE includes several classy older buildings.

Every year a temporary midway is constructed here.

High Park runs almost two kilometres north from Queen Street to Bloor Street. On the other side of High Park, to the Humber River, is Swansea, originally a separate municipality.

Etiene Brule Park, named after the first European recorded to have visited the region of Toronto, is just to the West of the Humber River. From the Humber River's headwaters First Nations peoples sometimes portaged to rivers that connected to Georgian Bay.

Mimico, also once a separate municipality

The Gardiner Expressay runs east west for about 6 kilometers, turning into the QEW (Queen Elizabeth Way) at the boundary between Toronto and Mississauga.
