Fort York National Historic Site

Fort York National Historic Site is the birthplace of urban Toronto and the site of Canada's largest collection of 1812-era military structures. The Visitor Centre is key to the planned revitalization of the entire 17-hectare (43-acre) site. It opened in the fall of 2014 for the 100th Anniversary Commemoration of the Great War. The new visitor centre is located below and just north of the Gardiner Expressway, at the entrance to the National Historic Site – in alignment with the original shoreline of Lake Ontario.
