Toronto’s Lost Multicultural Neighbourhood | The T.O. You Don’t Know

It might be hard to imagine now, but the corner of Bay Street and Dundas Street used to be the centre of ‘The Ward’ By the late 1800s, it was a thriving, diverse working-class community. The first stop for non-Anglo immigration. East Europeans and Italians came and went. Formerly-enslaved Americans mixed with Russians.Black and Jewish businesses thrived side by side. And, it was the home of the original Chinatown. It was multicultural Toronto, 19th century-style. By 1965, it was pretty much gone, being demolished over time. So while the neighbourhood may be lost, it’s not quite forgotten. This unforgettable moment is part of The T.O. You Don’t Know, a city-wide storytelling experience uncovering Toronto’s wildest forgotten histories. 📍Bay & Albert St 🔗 Discover Toronto like never before. #MuseumOfToronto #TorontoHistory #TOYouDontKnow #TorontoStories
