We have put together an online companion for the Heritage Toronto Walking Tour “Portuguese Toronto”, taking place on June 7 (see here for more). Participants will able to access the PCHP website through their mobile devices to look at photos related to the locations and themes discussed at each stop. There is also a summary of the script we are using for the walk, so that those interested can revisit it at a later point.

We have also pulled new photos from our archival records at the Clara Thomas Archives & Special Collections and posted them in our website under the new section “Galleries“.
