In Our Father's Footsteps

On Monday, July 16th, we took a very interesting bus ride about the city. "In Our Father's Footsteps - The Welsh Immigrant Story in Toronto" was a unique tour offering an opportunity to trace the footsteps of Welsh immigrants who have lived, worked, and worshipped in Toronto. We visited many sites and landmark buildings and hear the stories of the Welsh people behind them and their influence on this great city.

In Our Fathers' Footsteps

Our trip included a visit to the Old Mill for lunch. The whole trip was a great success.
