From the <a href=\"http:\/\/germanwalkto.com\">germanwalkto.com<\/a> site:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Toronto is a city of neighbourhoods, and many of them have a deep and layered ethnic history. Cabbagetown, Chinatown, Little Italy, Little India, Little Jamaica, the Polish Roncesvalles Village, or The Greek Danforth are just some examples of the diversity of Canada&#8217;s largest city. While Germans in Toronto don\u2019t have one particular neighbourhood to call their own, German influence can be found across the city \u2013 hidden and not always obvious. Born out of the city tours that the German Consulate Toronto organizes twice a year with local city tour guides, the consulate in collaboration with the Ryerson University Library introduces #GermanWalkTO. We hope you enjoy discovering Toronto\u2019s German side.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-64587\" src=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/toronto\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-05-at-11.41.21-AM-600x457.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/toronto\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-05-at-11.41.21-AM-600x457.png 600w, https:\/\/spacing.ca\/toronto\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-05-at-11.41.21-AM-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/spacing.ca\/toronto\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-05-at-11.41.21-AM-768x584.png 768w, https:\/\/spacing.ca\/toronto\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-05-at-11.41.21-AM-940x715.png 940w, https:\/\/spacing.ca\/toronto\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-05-at-11.41.21-AM.png 1096w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first walk is a Bauhaus-inspired architecture walk of Toronto, produced with the help of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goethe.de\/ins\/ca\/en\/sta\/tor.html\">Goethe-Institut Toronto<\/a>.
