A Toronto man recently rediscovered the remnants of a long-forgotten part of the city s history a farm attached to a hospital.
John Maniezzo is a history buff who collects photos and information about many Toronto neighbourhoods on his Facebook page Toronto Old Districts.
Recently, he heard about a farm affiliated with a Toronto hospital near the Humber River in the Mount Dennis community and wanted to learn more. They had pigs and chickens and they grew their own vegetables for the patients, Maniezzo told blogTO.
