Golden Mile of Industry, Victoria Park Avenue and Eglinton Ave.

Explore a fascinating and often overlooked chapter of Toronto's industrial and wartime history along Eglinton Avenue East, once known as the Golden Mile of Industry. This stretch was home to a massive munitions plant before Scarborough Township reimagined the land for postwar growth — laying the groundwork for the suburb we know today. It's a thought-provoking evening walk for anyone curious about how the city's east end went from wartime production hub to thriving community. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
