Edenbridge-Humber Valley

St. George's Church on the Hill
4600 Dundas Street West
This church has been a landmark for over 160 years. In 1971, the church was registered as a site of archaeological interest because many First Nations artifacts were reported to be found in the cemetery, indicating that for thousands of years, the hill has been used to view the surrounding land. The original stucco church was completed in 1847. In 1894, the church was raised and placed on a new stone foundation to provide a basement. At the same time, the stucco walls were covered with brick and a front porch was added. In 1937, the church was lengthened to provide space for a growing population after the Second World War. Inside the church, old stained glass windows are interspersed with the new, including three windows in particular, which depict the history of the Village of Islington. Today, the site remains a thriving centre within the Islington community. The Kingsway College School joined the site in 1990 and built the new addition at the rear of the church. A cemetery, established in the 1840s, also sits on the site.

Joshua Glover Park
4208 Dundas Street West
This park is named after Joshua Glover, an important figure in Toronto's Black history. Joshua Glover was an enslaved person who fled Missouri in 1852. After landing in Ontario, he made his way to Etobicoke and found work at Thomas Montgomery's Inn. Glover continued to work here as a farm hand and lived out the rest of his life as a tenant and life-long friend of the Montgomery's. The Joshua Glover Public Art Memorial stands in the park, which was created by local artist Quentin VerCetty. A Heritage Toronto plaque stands beside the artwork, which provides historical context on Glover's journey to Canada and freedom. There will also be a plaque with a QR code that will allow users to learn more about the artist and engage in an augmented reality experience.

Lambton Mills Cemetery
1293 Royal York Road
This cemetery was established by the Congregation Knesseth Israel, a synagogue on Maria Street in the Junction Area neighbourhood. The cemetery was then divided up into different parcels which were sold to other Jewish congregations, resulting in the creation of 14 smaller cemeteries. Among the notable individuals buried here include Fanny 'Bobbie' Rosenfeld, a sports writer and athlete who won medals in the 1928 Olympics and wrote for the Globe & Mail for over 20 years. The cemetery is also home to a black granite memorial for those killed by the Nazis at Ostrovietz, Poland between 1941 and 1945. The monument was sadly damaged by vandals in 1999, but Tony Duguid, a Mohawk art restorer from Six Nations, volunteered his time and expertise to restore it.

James Gardens
99 Edenbridge Drive
James Gardens, a former estate on the west bank of the Humber River, is known for its flower gardens, mature trees and terraced stone pathways beside sparkling spring-fed pools and streams. The park features the historic James Gazebo, along with terraced pathways and the original home 'Red Gables'. Here, you can also find lawn bowling, cross-country skiing, a memorial cairn in rose garden, and a scenic lookout over the Humber Valley to downtown Toronto. Twelve Indigenous artifacts were uncovered here in the 1920s when weeping tiles and water features were being installed. These include a pine-tree shaped projection point that dates to about 4,000 years ago, made from Onondaga chert, a flint-like stone that comes from the north shore of Lake Erie.

Lambton Woods
1193 Royal York Road
Lambton Woods is a green space located on the west bank of the Humber River filled with trees, animals and birds. This part of the land was known as Lambton Mills. William Cooper assembled the land and established the mills by 1807 on both sides of the Humber River. Lambton Mills was a thriving community, however, a fire in 1915 destroyed most of the east bank buildings, leaving just the Lambton House.
