There are also guided neighbourhood tours and Doors Open talks for those that want to find out more information as the tour progresses, although advance registration is required.
Toronto City Hall is once again included in the list of places to visit with the following information provided from the city; "The seat of Toronto's municipal government and internationally recognized as an architectural masterpiece, City Hall and Nathan Phillips Square are among Toronto's most famous landmarks. The masterful mid-century design is the result of one of the largest architectural competitions ever held by a city. An international jury judged 510 submissions from 42 countries around the world. In 1958, Mayor Nathan Phillips announced the winner, Viljo Revell, an architect based in Helsinki, Finland. Construction began in 1961, and the site opened four years later on September 13, 1965."
Keep in mind that part of the city is also working against the other part this weekend as TTC subway service on Line One comes to a halt both Saturday and Sunday. From the TTC's website, "Subway service on Line 1 between Sheppard-Yonge and College stations will be replaced by shuttle buses on Saturday, May 24 and Sunday, May 25, for planned track work. TTC staff will be available to assist customers. Lawrence and Summerhill stations will be closed during these times. All other subway stations will remain open for customers to purchase PRESTO fares, tickets and connect to surface routes."
