Toronto 
Events Description
Residents and visitors are invited to celebrate and enjoy Toronto’s beautiful ravine network and unique green spaces during Ravine Days.
Ravines define Toronto’s landscape just as the canals of Venice, the rolling hills of San Francisco, and the mountains of Rio define those cities. Over 17% of Toronto’s total area is ravine land and 87% of Toronto’s Environmentally Significant Areas are found in Toronto ravines.
Our ravines play an integral part in the sustainment of the quality of life we enjoy. Ravine Days celebrate our ravines and foster understanding and appreciation for them.
Ravine Days brings together City-led and community-driven events that showcase and celebrate Toronto’s unique ravine system. These events foster appreciation and respect for the ravines as natural and connected spaces that are essential for the health and well-being of the city.
Ravine Days activities include:
• “Then and Now” exhibit: Monday, October 2 to Thursday, October 5, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Toronto City Hall Rotunda, 100 Queen St. W. In celebration of its 100th anniversary as a volunteer charity devoted to conserving Toronto’s natural areas, Toronto Field Naturalists has paired archival photographs with 2023 images of the same locales to document the spread of urban development and the positive results of conservation efforts.
• Heart Berry mural unveiling: Sunday, October 8, Rowntree Mills Park, 155 Rowntree Mill Rd. Coordinated by STEPS Public Art with support from Park People and City staff, this afternoon event will celebrate the unveiling of an Indigenous-themed Heart Berry mural by artist Lindsey Lickers with a medicine walk and spoken word performances.
