Welcome to HeritageWiki - Toronto's History & Heritage starts here

HeritageWiki is all about Toronto's History, Heritage and those who are Gone But Not Forgotten

Toronto and Torontonians sometimes experience a sense of amnesia or nostalgia for places, people, and memories of days gone by.

HeritageWiki aims for being the place to record, preserve and share those Toronto memories.

This is an experiment in community and a project that can be fruitful for years to come to both old and new in Toronto.

Everyone these days has their own personal blog. They write down everyday activities, things they do, places they go. But how about the city itself? Imagine this as sort of a "blog" for Toronto itself. A place for sharing, listening, learning, growing and exploring.

So, dig up your old photographs and find something in that shoebox! Write about one of your favourite historic places. Tell us what you used to do in Toronto from years gone by. The topics and room for exploration is endless, and we will hopefully record a little bit of what Toronto means for us, here.

What this wiki contains and means is up to you. As a general rule you should contribute content you think will be helpful or insightful to others, but even this rule can be broken at times. Interesting things will stay, and bad contributions will pass with time. Never be afraid to try something new, to edit something, to make your voice heard.

This is our place, our resource, our voice.
