This webpage is your digital companion to Mazon Canada's time-traveling walk through Kensington Market.
Below you'll find a series of images, each connected to a location in the market. Click, visit, and learn to rediscover the history of Kensington's Jewish food systems, and connect to the struggles of today's market residents. From meat strikes to the regulation of kosher slaughter, a Jewish tour of the economic and cultural history of Kensington's foodways is yours to explore.

Our tour weaving through the market was led by Sharoni Sibony. Sharoni is an adult educator, artist and Jewish community organizer – including the co-organizer of the Downtown Tikkun Leil Shavuot. Most recently, she trained as a Creative Facilitator with the Jewish Studio Project out of Berkeley, CA. She's been a tour guide with the Ontario Jewish Archives and Blankenstein Family Heritage Centre for nearly 15 years, teaching people about Toronto Jewish history.
