Map showing the Toronto-Carrying Place Trail, from Percy J. Robinson’s Toronto During the French Regime (1933).
The Humber River is designated as a Canadian Heritage River, in part because of its associations with the Toronto Carrying Place Trail. This trail followed the Humber River Valley northward over the Oak Ridges Moraine to the headwaters of the west branch of the Holland River. It was one of a number of water and overland routes used by early Aboriginal peoples that connected Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay and Lake Huron via the Lake Simcoe watershed.

a
defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human activities and is valued by a community. It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features such as structures, spaces, archaeological sites and natural elements, which together form a significant type of heritage form, distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts. Examples may include but are not limited to, heritage conservation districts designated under the
Ontario Heritage Act;
and villages, parks, gardens, battlefields, mainstreets and neighbourhoods, cemeteries, trailways, and industrial complexes of cultural heritage valueSlide7

Regional Borders and Cultural Heritage Landscapes in OntarioAreas of Future Inquiry and Resulting QuestionsDoes scale jumping and do regional boundaries for cultural heritage landscapes present new opportunities for economic development, recreation, and sustainability objectives? What are some mechanisms for regulating cultural heritage landscapes situated at the borderlands?
What
inter-jurisdictional
governance models or assessment techniques might be possible to address cultural heritage landscapes located at international borders?
How does the archaeological record relating to cultures operating in the Great Lakes Region in the pre-contact period tell us about the coalescence and dispersal of specific cultural and/or linguistic communities? Slide19
