Trethewey Airfield

Visit the site of Toronto's very first airfield — a surprisingly rich slice of history tucked into a quiet west-end circle. Established in 1910 on the Trethewey Model Farm, this was the ground where French aviator Count Jacques de Lesseps made aviation history, drawing crowds and international attention to a city still finding its footing. Strolling through today, it's a wonderfully low-key way to connect with a chapter of Toronto's story that most locals have never heard. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
