THE WARD UNCOVERED

Despite its derelict housing, crime and vice, generations of residents built The Ward into a vibrant downtown hub for Irish, Italian and Chinese immigrants, as well as for African Americans fleeing slavery from the United States and Jewish people escaping pogroms in Eastern Europe.

Join Toronto journalist John Lorinc, editor of The Ward, as well as Postdoctoral Fellow Cheryl Thompson and public historian Kathy Grant—both contributors to The Ward Uncovered—as they explore The Ward through the words of its residents.
