Achieve: Here's What We're Doing

To help foster creativity and innovation in Toronto, the Library launched youryongestreet, an interactive online exhibit of people, places and events along the world’s longest street. 

Youryongestreet brings together stories, documents, maps, photographs, oral histories, and videos to create a living history.

The site is developed to engage Torontonians in the history of their city, and invite them to share their personal insights, experiences and memories. The site enables people to browse the content by subject (tag) or by following along the map of Yonge Street – all the way from Lake Ontario to Rainy River. Users can comment on pictures and stories, and add to the memory bank, and share content using social media.
