Geoff Kettel, Sabina Ali to guide Thorncliffe Park walk

Geoff Kettel and Sabina Ali of the Thorncliffe Park Women’s Committee will be the guides for the neighborhood walk named Thorncliffe Park: Canada’s Arrival city.  It is scheduled for next Saturday, July 25, 2015 from 1.30 to 3 pm. It will start outside the Jenner Jean-Marie Community Centre (Thorncliffe Park Library) at 48 Thorncliffe Park Drive. Organizers note that the tour is entirely on flat pavement. Thorncliffe Park began in the 1950s and welcomed people from all over the world.  Journalist Doug Saunders named it Canada’s “Arrival City”. Outsiders can discover the history and current vibe of Thorncliffe Park, from the era of Aboriginal farmers through European settlers and post-war development to the present day Tower Neighbourhood renewal.
