The War of 1812 was of enormous significance to Canada

The spectacular performance of The Great Canadian Victory Party will coincide with the unveiling of Old Town Toronto's new heritage lighting, which will complement the historic buildings in the downtown neighbourhood. This is a feast for the eyes of grand architecture and the birthplace of pre confederation Canada where it all began.

The origins of the St. Lawrence neighbourhood date to the creation of the original Town of York in 1793 by John Graves Simcoe, the first Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, when a ten-block town site was laid out between present-day Front Street, George Street, Adelaide Street East and Berkeley Street. At the time, Front Street was at the shoreline of Lake Ontario.
