Watch the history of Toronto unfold through the careers of some of the city’s most noteworthy mayors!
Join special guest speaker, Frank Nicholson, on Thursday April 13 at Toronto's First Post Office, as he unfolds the history of Toronto through the careers of some of the sixty-five chief magistrates the city has had since being incorporated in 1834; a timely subject given Toronto's upcoming mayoral election!
Key figures will include our first mayor, William Lyon Mackenzie, leader of the Rebellion of 1837; W.H. Boulton, Toronto’s last Family Compact mayor; W.H. Howland, promoter of “Toronto the Good”; Tommy Church, “Father of the TTC”; Leslie Saunders, our last Orange Order Mayor; Nathan Phillips, our first Jewish mayor and the man behind our current iconic City Hall; David Crombie, our “Tiny Perfect Mayor”; and Mel Lastman, who oversaw the merger of the city, the suburbs and Metro into Megacity, our current city, twenty-five years ago.
This event will take place in-person at Toronto's First Post Office at 260 Adelaide Street East, with doors opening at 6:30pm and the presentation beginning promptly at 7pm. Pre-registration and ticket purchase is required to attend. Don't delay as spots are strictly limited!
