🇨🇦 This morning, I played tourist in my own city.
I signed up for a public art walking tour with Shaun V. through , and despite being a lifelong Torontonian, I discovered hidden gems I had walked past countless times without truly seeing.
🖌️ What stood out most wasn't just the art. It was the stories behind it. The Indigenous connections woven throughout the city, the artists who embedded pieces of their lives into their work, and the history hiding in plain sight.
The weather couldn't have been better. Sunshine, comfortable temperatures, and the perfect excuse to spend a few hours exploring downtown on foot.
If you're looking for something different to do, I highly recommend Shaun's tour. Bring your curiosity, your camera, and comfortable shoes. Your feet will thank you later.
Sometimes the most interesting places to explore are the ones we think we already know.
When was the last time you took a tour of your own city?
