Toronto Pursuits
A listing of some of the cultural courses and lifelong learning seminar opportunities from Classical Pursuits.
Over 100 people from across Canada and at least 20 states will gather on the shady garden campus of the University of Toronto’ Victoria College. About 80% will be returnees and the remainder will be there for the first time. About half will be working and half will be retired. They will range in age from early thirties to mid-eighties. Some will stay in an economical campus residence; others will opt for a nearby hotel. Still others will commute each day from home
