The Toronto Archives has reopened its atrium on Saturday for its exhibit celebrating 100 years of the TTC.
100 Years of Moving Toronto highlights the growth and expansion of the TTC, with newly digitized images of female employees during the Second World War, early accessible vehicles, and construction of the Yonge and Sheppard subway lines. Objects on display include historical tokens from the 1950s, tickets, and the first Metropasses from the early 1980s. The exhibit also features Irma James, the first Black female Streetcar driver and Lyn Morgan the first ever female Leadhand.
This exhibit forms part of a larger celebration of the TTC’s centenary, which can also be seen at 12 subway stations. A web version of this exhibit is also available to view.
The TTC: 100 Years of Moving Toronto runs until August 31.
