The area around Islington Avenue and Dundas Street West was once the Village of Islington, with the first permanent settlers arriving in the early 1800s. Today, the strip of Dundas between Montgomery Road and Kipling Avenue is the focus of the Village of Islington Business Improvement Area. They have chosen to tell the history of this corner of the city through a series of 20 murals, spaced along Dundas. This image is a portion of a mural entitled Fishing in Mimico Creek and was painted, like most of the other murals, by John Kuna.
If you want to learn more, visit the BIA’s website to find out about guided mural walks, or check out Heritage Toronto’s Islington Village iTour and let it lead you on a tour of the neighbourhood.
