Overview

Originally known as The Don Valley Pressed Brick Works Company, it operated for over a century until shutting down in 1984. Seizing the opportunity to preserve its rich heritage, Evergreen opened Evergreen Brick Works in 2010, transforming an industrial brickyard to a flourishing environmental community and events center. Today, it stands as one of Toronto's go-to wedding venues.
