The City of Toronto is supporting another mural in Riverside! This beautiful art piece will be painted at 1 Munroe Street; on the Oma Chiropractic building .
The mural will display the rich history of Riverside with a sports theme. The theme is in the spirit of the Pan American Games as Riverside will be in close proximity to the athlete’s village. Riverside’s history of sport is incredible and the Riverside BIA is very proud to showcase the long history of sport in the area. A couple of interesting facts about Riverside’s history in sport:
Riverside was home to Toronto’s first professional Baseball Field
The Royal Canadian Curling Club is located in Riverside and has been for over 100 years
In the early 1900s inhabitants of Riverside went to the Don River to skate and curl
Before the streetcar came to Queen Street, it was an important horse drawn carriage route
Below is illustrative example of what the mural will look like. We look forward to seeing this incredible work of art come to life! Join us in celebrating the commencement of this beautiful mural on June 7th at 3:00pm.
