What is hiding in your Attic?
Leaside Heritage is looking for pieces to add to our collection.
Preserved together for past, present and future generations.
What LHPS is here to do
Developing and maintaining various social media platforms devoted to Leaside’s history and heritage.
Identify, collect and store documents, photographs, artifacts and other material that illustrate and define Leaside’s history, to one day fill a Leaside-based museum.
Develop educational materials (videos, slide-presentations, etc.) that highlight aspects of Leaside’s past and presenting this material to schools, community groups, etc.
The little town that grew!
Incorporated in 1913, Leaside was one of Toronto’s first “planned” communities.
Important achievements in areas such as: business and commerce, education, sports and recreation, commercial and residential architecture, infrastructure development…and in the everyday lives and experiences of Leasider's themselves.
