The Museum of Toronto has initiated the T.O. You Don't Know project to reveal lesser-known historical stories and sites within the city. Aiming to foster exploration, the campaign utilizes posters and plaques at bike share stations and bus shelters. It highlights over 25 historic events, including notable locations like the site of the circus riots and a 13,000-year-old Indigenous road. The project encourages residents to learn about their city either on foot or by bicycle, sparking renewed interest in Toronto's rich history.
"There are lots of things that make the city much more interesting, renew our interest, connect us as Torontonians, and we thought it would be a great way for people to either explore all these sites or just renew interest in the place that they live."
"The project focuses on over 25 historic sites and stories to pay tribute to Toronto's past, such as: Scene of the circus riots where American circus clowns got into a brawl with firefighters at a Toronto brothel."
"A 13,000-year-old Indigenous road, the stretch of Davenport follows an ancient Ojibwe train over 10,000 years old."
"The initiative is thrilling and might astonish people with the information they discover."
