due SOUTH
Filming Locations
Compiled by Lynne Ackerman and Elyse Dickenson
The following is a list of locations in and around Toronto where Due South was filmed. If you decide to visit Toronto and see these sites, please keep in mind that the majority of these sites are business establishments, and to respect that (e.g., if you decide you need a dozen photos of a restaurant's interior, perhaps you should grab a meal while you're there).
If you know of any sites that you think should be added to the list, please contact Elyse Dickenson. We're especially looking for Third and Fourth Season locales!
