Toronto 
Events Description
Discover how a former industrial brickyard is now a hub for Toronto’s South Asian community.
Learn how one of Toronto’s first Bollywood movie theatres transformed this East End neighbourhood into an international destination for South Asian culture during the 1970s and 1980s.
On this walk, we’ll explore this unparalled bazaar, a business-based enclave formed by multiple entrepreneurial immigrants, stopping at locations like the Lahore Tikka House, known for barbecued green chilies, and Chandan Fashion, the star of the reality show Bollywed.
This emerging historian tour will be developed and led by Sarah Takhar, an international researcher and museum educator who has worked with organisations such as the Museum on the Mound, the Scottish Maritime Museum, the Aurora Historical Society, and currently the Museum of Dufferin. Sarah is passionate about investigating heritage through a transnational lens, and exploring the cross-cultural connections of history.
