David Gibson

Explore the legacy of David Gibson, a Scottish-trained land surveyor whose work helped shape the very geography of Upper Canada after he arrived in 1825. His story — part colonial history, part personal resilience — is commemorated right along Yonge Street, one of the arteries he helped define. It's a fascinating free detour that puts a human face on the maps we still navigate today. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
