It popped a bit last Saturday, but with a predicted high of 26C tomorrow, Torontonians will be out in force and it will, as I wrote two years ago, be <a href=\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/toronto\/2007\/04\/19\/this-will-be-the-best-weekend-of-the-year\/\">the best weekend of the year<\/a> (in the most Biblical and Leonard Cohenesque way). Torontonians will be outside and on the sidewalks in force as it&#8217;s too early for the mass vacation and cottage exodus that empties Toronto on summer weekends. Everybody is still in town. A fine way to see the warm and fleshly spectacle is to take a psychogeographic walk around the 1834 boundaries of the city, a walk that will give participants a sense of how big (or small) the city was when it was founded 175 years ago. This unique walk kicks off Hertiage Toronto&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heritagetoronto.org\/discover-toronto\/walk\">2009 season of historic walks<\/a> that <em>Spacing<\/em> is proud to sponsor.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Our 2009 Heritage Toronto Walks Season is around the corner &#8211; and it begins with a special self-guided walk this year to honour our city&#8217;s birthday: <\/em><em><strong>1834 Toronto: Beating the Bounds<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Dirt streets and wooden sidewalks, the smell of wood smoke and stables, schooners and steamboats in the harbour &#8211; this was what one would have encountered here in 1834, the year the growing Town of York (population 9,252) was incorporated as the City of Toronto. While it is a challenge to fully understand life back then, we can get a sense of the scope of the early city &#8211; through our feet!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In celebration of Toronto&#8217;s 175th anniversary, Heritage Toronto and Spacing magazine invite you to walk the 1834 city boundaries in a one-of-a-kind modern \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpilgrimage&#8217;.
