Did you know it took some 89 years from concept to completion for the Billy Bishop Toronto City airport pedestrian tunnel? Great item from #HeritageToronto by emerging historian #Shannon Buskermolen. heritagetoronto.org/explore/the-80-year-tunnel-at-billy-bishop-airport/

I had such a wonderful time at the Heritage Toronto Awards at The Carlu this evening! 😃

"Colouring Toronto's history" didn't win the Public History Award, but I'm so very proud that it was nominated.

Congratulations to all the award winners!
