On Friday, the 24,000 square foot Fort York Visitor Centre will open on the south side of Garrison Common. Designed by the award-winning Canadian team of Patkau Architects Inc / Kearns Mancini Architects Inc, it will help the Fort tell its 200-year story and orient visitors to the entire 43-acre National Historic Site. On Saturday and Sunday, step through our new “front door” and celebrate the grand opening of the Visitor Centre with On Common Ground. This multifaceted festival of culture and community will animate the grounds of Fort York and the Visitor Centre with culturally diverse music, dance, theatre, multi-media installations, storytelling, crafts, kidzone, peacezone, greenzone, and local food.
