It is not only the bricks and mortar of our historic buildings that survive and thrive through the centuries. It is the people, their actions and events that shaped our past and present which we continue to remem ber and celebrate through the generations.

The 1812 Great Canadian Victory Party will bring the War of 1812 and the Farmers Rebellion to life as you become an honoured guest at a celebration featuring Laura Secord, Fitzgibbon, Tecumseh and other Canadian heroes.

This theatre performance is a lighthearted dramatization of the events that put Canada on the path to nationhood, starting in 1812 and ending in 1834 when Toronto was incorporated as a city. The performance will be held in St. Lawrence Hall, built in 1849 and was the social centre of Toronto for more than a century.

As part of this unique production, a tasting of authentic fare served during this era fruit preserves, cheese and heritage bread will be featured. The food will be prepared by students enrolled in George Brown Chef School (Canadian Food History a Toronto Museum Experience course), who will use recipes and cooking methods from the 1800s.

Come and enjoy the heritage that is Old Toronto.

Admission: $25
