Exhibit: "The Twenties: Snapshots of Everyday Life"Presented by: City of Toronto Archives
The City of Toronto Archives has a new exhibit on Toronto in “The Twenties: Snapshots of Everyday Life” to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the 1920s. The exhibit explores this decade of great striving and deliberate optimism in Toronto. In this brief moment between the First World War and the stock market crash of 1929, Torontonians sought a new, modern way of life that promised possibility and abundance. This exhibit explores everyday life in Toronto of the 1920s, with sections on leisure, TTC services, radio, sports, clothing, architecture, letters, and work. Visit the Archives and check out the exhibit’s stunning black and white photos.

Now in its third year in Toronto, Come From Away is the smash-hit musical that has taken the world by storm, with continuing sold-out, record-breaking engagements on Broadway, in London’s West End, Melbourne, and on tour across North America. This joyous musical shares the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 airplane passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Gander, Newfoundland in the wake of 9/11, and the small community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives. Written by Tony®-nominated Canadians Irene Sankoff and David Hein, and featuring Tony®-winning direction by Christopher Ashley, Come From Away “takes you to a place you never want to leave!” (Newsweek). After a successful run at the Elgin Theatre, Come From Away has returned to its original Toronto home, the Royal Alexandra Theatre. The cast and band made the trek across the city with a song in their hearts, and a twinkle in their eyes. Canadian Auto Show from Feb 14-23 at
