Subdued but poignant #RemembranceDay2020 at #FortYork yesterday. The staff welcomed Marvin Gord, 99 years young, and former Leading Aircraftman, RAF.  He was welcomed by the staff wearing uniforms he would have remembered. 1/2 Photo courtesy of Baycrest Centre @FortYorkFriends

Black businesses have always been a part of Toronto. These photos show where hatter Jarad Banks, innkepper James Mink, barber Jesse Burke, and tobacconist George Carter operated in the late 1840s. The city directories list many more. Black heritage is #TOheritage
