This is the final installment in the ‘Staying Healthy at ICSE’ series. Today, I suggest a one and a half hour walking tour of Old Cabbagetown – a historic residential neighborhood in downtown Toronto. Complete details of the walking tour are available online at http://www.oldcabbagetown.com, including specific details about where to go and what to see, as well as a map of the area. 

The starting point for the walking tour is the southeast corner of Carlton and Parliament (which is within walking distance of the Westin Harbour Castle). This is the center of Cabbagetown; from here, the tour takes you past some of the nicest houses, churches, and other buildings in the city – most dating from the 19th century. Near the end of the walk you will reach the Riverdale park and the small (but free!) Riverdale Zoo. If you’ve got a couple of free hours during the day or evening, this is definitely worth the trip.
