The summer edition of the Friends of Fort York\u2019s quarterly newsletter, Fife and<\/strong> Drum <\/strong>was released recently.\u00a0 It’s a busy time at the Fort this summer with the Pan Am Games’ Aboriginal Pavilion on site. With the new Visitor’s Centre, there was no need for the old Garrison Road bridge under the Gardiner, and it met its farewell in April as you can see in the picture above. Here’s some of the highlights in this issue:<\/p>\n

    Fife & Drum lists upcoming events and recent goings-on at the fort, but it also has, since the Friends began publishing it in 1996, exhaustively researched essays and stories about the fort, Toronto and related history. I serve as volunteer director on the Friends of Fort York board, the volunteer advocacy organization that has helped look after the interests of City of Toronto\u2019s premier museum site.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
