Walking Through Queer Toronto: A QR Code Tour of 2SLGBTQIA+ History

1988 Pride Day 2, 2009-097_11P(01)-(06).jpg

This project is a self-guided QR code walking tour that explores key sites of 2SLGBTQIA+ history in Toronto. The tour invites visitors to visit ten locations that have shaped queer and trans life in the city—from theatres and bathhouses to bars, parks, and gathering places.

Each stop features narrative storytelling, archival materials, historical photographs, and audio recordings that bring the past to life in the places where it happened. Drawn from the collections of The ArQuives: Canada’s LGBTQ2+ Archives, the tour reflects decades of community-building, resistance, joy, and everyday life.

Start exploring to follow the steps of those who helped build queer Toronto.
