About This Tour

In 1954, the TTC opened Canada's first underground rail line, then known as the "Yonge” subway, under Yonge Street between Union Station and Eglinton Avenue. It was extended multiple times between 1963 and 2017 heading northbound from Union to St. George and Finch.

Participants will travel on the subway to visit pieces of art at or in the vicinity of 8 different stations.

One such piece, unveiled in 1985, is at College station by Artist Charles Pachter’s is titled “Hockey Knights in Canada”. This is a two-part installation depicting the Maple Leafs squaring off from opposite sides of the subway tracks, with the Montreal Canadiens.
