About this Event
Toronto’s commercial landscape is rich and complex. Drawing on his new book, Toronto Thresholds, historian Wayne Reeves explores the overlooked world of horizontal floor signs -- how works in tile and terrazzo embody the striving of small business owners and the skills of immigrant workers.
He will present an illustrated talk at Back Lane Studios on Sunday, Dec. 13, from 2:00 - 4:00 pm. FREE, but book your spot!
Wayne was Chief Curator for Toronto History Museums from 2009 until retiring in 2021. Besides writing over 30 articles about the city, he’s co-editor/-author of Souvenirs of Toronto Sports, Packaged Toronto, and HTO: Toronto’s Water from Lake Iroquois to Lost Rivers to Low-flow Toilets.
