This week in Ontario, Canada it’s ‘Heritage Week‘ and as a lover of history and keeping the past alive thru my little blog, I thought I would share some (just some, I have written TONS!) of my past posts I have done on Toronto (my adopted home) from the 1920s-1960s. Then stick around till the end for a fun video from the Archives of Ontario of 1960s Toronto.
