Have you had a chance to visit our free photo exhibit, The Changing Face of Toronto

The exhibit, which runs until July 23, is on display in the Toronto Reference Library's TD Gallery. The Changing Face of Toronto features portraits of the people who lived and worked in Toronto throughout the 20th century. Curated from the library's Canadian Documentary Art Collection and the Toronto Star Photograph Archive, these portraits offer a fascinating glimpse into the lives of Torontonians over the century.

As you walk through the exhibit, you might wonder: what faces and stories could you capture on the streets of Toronto today?
