About
Overview
In 2014, the City of Toronto organized various events, exhibits and initiatives to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First World War and honour the service and sacrifice of Canadians who fought in the war.
Toronto's Great War Attic
In the fall of 2014, 12 pop-up museum events were held across the city, where descendants of family members who lived during the war told their stories. These oral histories were accompanied by keepsakes and inspired further research. Many stories and photos can be viewed through the Canadian Encyclopedia's Your Canada map.
Short Documentary Films
Ten short documentary films were produced as a result of the Toronto's Great War Attic program and can be viewed on the City of Toronto Historic Sites YouTube channel.
About the War
During the First World War, Toronto was English-Canada's largest city and the headquarters for a military district spanning Central Ontario. The city became a focal point for recruiting, training, and mobilizing for war, while also becoming a place of remembrance for those who served and sacrificed.
