Join us for a captivating evening of celebration at Toronto's First Post Office & the Town of York Historical Society's annual fundraiser in celebration of Toronto's 192nd Birthday. This event not only commemorates the incorporation of the City of Toronto from the Town of York on March 6, 1834, but also serves as a significant opportunity to support the preservation of our rich cultural heritage.

You are most ardently invited to partake in an elegant evening of Toronto Regency history. Learn about the life and work of the Regency periods' most famous author, Jane Austen, and how her novels affected Town of York's residents at the time of their publication and the impact they are still having on Toronto residents today. After the presentation, guests will experience a regency dance demonstration.

Regency dress is strongly encouraged!
