CORKTOWN

Historic street name unveilings, February 2024

We unveiled two new street signs honouring Corktown’s Black and Indigenous history and persons of historical significance with the participation of MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam (Toronto Centre) and City of Toronto Counsellor Chris Moise (Toronto Centre—Ward 13). The two new streets, ‘Henry ‘Box’ Brown Lane’ and ‘North Star Way’ represent Corktown’s important history, and the prominent people who lived here in the early days of Toronto. This short event appropriately marked the kick-off of the City of Toronto’s 2024 Black History Month activities.
