About this Event
Join us for a talk with author M. Jane Fairburn
Co-presented by Museum of Toronto and Spacing Store
Fairburn, author of , will lead us through the many stories of life along Toronto's waterfront throughout the ages.
Four Toronto communities share an intimate connection with the waters of Lake Ontario: the Scarborough shore, the Beach, the Island, and the Lakeshore.
What can we learn about the city —and ourselves — when we explore stories of the people, landscapes, and geography of these areas? When examined, these stories reveal a rich heritage that has gone largely unrecognized and is for the most part forgotten.
Just like her book, this talk will bring to life the stories, many of which have never been told, of the lakefront and the people who have inhabited these special places.
About the Museum of Toronto
We offer experiences that tell the histories of Toronto. Enjoy our programming in our downtown exhibition space, throughout the city, and online.
Museum of Toronto is Getting Toronto, Together. We are made possible with the generous support of Diane Blake and Stephen Smith.
About the Spacing Store
Since 2004, Spacing magazine has been creating unique Toronto-centric merchandise, including the now iconic Toronto Subway Station buttons and magnets.
Opening in 2014, the has become to the go-to location for authentic merchandise that captures the spirit of Toronto and its neighbourhoods. We work directly with designers, artists, and makers who are producing unique objects that celebrate our city.
What is Toronto Gone Wild?
is our latest exhibition.
Toronto Gone Wild explores the city as a multi-layered habitat — starring the animals, plants, and insects that call Toronto home.
You will venture through different Torontonian terrains from city streets to burrows, hives, and nests, all seamlessly woven together in our downtown exhibition space.
See for yourself just how much we share with our animal neighbours in the struggle for food, housing, and community. You may have more in common with that white squirrel at Trinity Bellwoods than you think.
