When the community of Leslieville joined the City of York in 1884, it provided old Toronto with fresh food from market gardens, bricks from the clayworks operations, and thousands of trees from namesake George Leslie’s nursery to shade the city’s ever-growing streets and parks.

Join us in celebrating the spirit of old Leslieville on June 20, and help us pay tribute to a neighbourhood that has maintained a unique community spirit and local charm to this day. 

Here's a quick sample of the festivities:

• A Heritage Toronto walking tour featuring stories about the history of Leslieville (starts at 10 am from 1444 Queen St. E and ends in park at 12 noon)
• A plaque and tree planting at 12 noon dedicated to George Leslie, the community's namesake and provider of many of Toronto's present-day trees
• A main stage featuring Juno-nominated, Green Toronto Award winner Chris McKhool and local band the Burning Boyz
• Kids' tree-related crafts and activities, including the return of the popular Tree Detective
• Native plant sale and fresh, organic food from local farmers and vendors
• A wide array of "green" goods, local art and handmade crafts
• Educational displays from environmental groups
• Seminar with Douglas Green, experienced organic gardener, author of "A Guide to Canadian Vegetable Gardening"
