An urbain stroll : let’s rediscover the Fashion District together! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A very first collaboration between Le Labo and la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u2019Histoire de Toronto for the Jane\u2019s Walk festival<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What if we took the time to look up and truly see our city?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, May 2, 2026<\/strong>, Le Labo<\/strong> and the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u2019Histoire de Toronto (SHT) <\/strong>are joining forces for the very first time! As part of the community-led Jane\u2019s Walk Festival, we invite you to a friendly urban stroll titled \u201cFacadism: Honest Compromise or Superficial Decor?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guided by Dyana Ouvrard (Le Labo)<\/strong> and Rolande Smith (SHT),<\/strong> we will explore the Fashion District together. Expect an hour of walking and discovering the architecture around us. Why are some old facades kept while the rest of the building is demolished? Is this genuine heritage preservation or just a \u201cfa\u00e7ade\u201d for new towers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll wrap up our journey at St. Andrew\u2019s Playground Park for a final chat about the future of our neighborhoods. So, lace up your most comfortable sneakers and come share this moment of conviviality and reflection with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking forward to walking with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
