Travel Guide to Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada Plaque: Canada's First Electric Telegraph

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start from the nearest major city in Northern Canada, such as Yellowknife. Head south on Highway 3 towards Fort Providence. Continue on this highway until you reach the junction with Highway 1. Merge onto Highway 1 southbound towards Alberta. This will be a long drive, so consider stopping in towns along the way for rest and refueling. When you arrive in Toronto, navigate to 93 Front St E. The Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada Plaque: Canada's First Electric Telegraph is located here. Parking may incur additional costs, so check for nearby parking facilities.

• Public Transportation

  If you're using public transportation, your best option is to fly from Northern Canada to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ). Airlines such as Air Canada and WestJet operate flights from various Northern cities, including Yellowknife and Whitehorse. Once you arrive at YYZ, you can take the UP Express train to Union Station in downtown Toronto. From Union Station, it’s about a 15-minute walk to 93 Front St E. Alternatively, you can take a taxi or rideshare service from Union Station, which may cost around $10-$15 CAD.

• Local Transit

  If you're already in Toronto, use the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) subway or streetcar to get around. The nearest subway station to 93 Front St E is King Station on the Yonge-University Line. After exiting the subway, walk east along King St until you reach Yonge St, then head north to Front St E. Alternatively, you can take any streetcar that runs along Queen St or King St and disembark at the appropriate stop. Public transit fares are approximately $3.25 CAD.
