Come celebrate Simcoe Day 2026 with Lorna and her fellow Toronto history authors, booksellers, podcasters, and historical societies on Monday, August 3, 2026!

For a third straight year, the York Pioneer & Historical Society (YPHS), the Town of York/Toronto First Post Office, and the Riverdale Historical Society are partnering to bring together people who share a passion for Toronto’s rich past!

Browse curated artifact displays, meet and chat with local authors and podcasters, connect with historical societies, and take part in guided neighbourhood walks. Whether you’re a lifelong history enthusiast or simply curious about Toronto’s past, you’ll discover something new and meet others who share your interest!
