Doors Open

This weekend, we enjoyed some of the sites of an event that brings out many people to explore their city, Doors Open. This was the 10th anniversary of this event. People explore structures throughout the city. Some have historical value or other interesting architectural aspects. Many cities and towns in Ontario sponsor weekend of Doors Open, a wonderful way to get to know a town or city better. It is free!
If you have never been to Toronto's Doors Open, mark the weekend after the May long weekend on your calendar.
We visited the Albany Club, home of Conservatives, Sir John A. McDonald was their founding chair. Many other conservatives have and are members. This club is not one that I would be asked to join but it certainly seems to be a lovely place to have a meal or drink. Always interesting to see how the other half lives. Another location, we managed to get to was Stantec former home of McGregor Socks. Interesting to see a factory converted to office space.
If you have never participated in this event, I highly recommend it.
