A walk was held highlighting how we're preserving heritage at two future Ontario Line stations, King-Bathurst and Queen-Spadina, for the Jane's Walk Festival.

During this tour, we shared details about how we’re preserving the historic building facades at the future station sites and what it takes to build an underground tunnel through the heart of Toronto. We also shared the unique discoveries and stories we’ve surfaced while preparing for the new stations.
