Product Description

From the 1840s until the Second World War, waves of newcomers who migrated to Toronto Irish, Jewish, Italian, African American and Chinese, among others landed in The Ward. Crammed with rundown housing and immigrant-owned businesses, this area, bordered by College and Queen, University and Yonge streets, was home to bootleggers, Chinese bachelors, workers from the nearby Eatons garment factories and hard-working peddlers. But the City considered it a slum, and bulldozed the area in the late 1950s to make way for a new civic square.
