"One of the leading collectors of memorabilia from the Canadian National Exhibition tells the stories of 'The Ex.' Photos of the author's extensive collection of cherished memorabilia from the CNE bring to life a bygone era, and anecdotes from fellow fans of Canada's great fair evoke a simpler time when CNE treats cost just pennies. Treasures of the CNE will give readers a chance to reminisce and enjoy tales of the fair's music, sports, events and amusements from days gone by."--

This tome is an extensive record of Canadas treasures including art, architecture, historical sites, and spots of natural beauty.

Toronto has over 600 public outdoor sculptures, works of art that provide a sense of the rich variety of life and work in the city, its peoples, cultures and aspirations. Interest in commissioning public sculpture began slowly in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, but increased rapidly after the 1950s.This is a book about the sculptures and how they disclose the city to itself. Creating Memory’s two introductory sections examine the factors behind this expansion over time and the changes in style as one generation of sculptors succeeded another. It looks at the reasons behind the changes as sculptures were conceived, sculpted and erected. More than 10 categories of sculptures are defined and discussed, including Founding the City, Natural Environment, Immigration, Ethnic Groups, Economic Activities, Disaster and Calamity, War And Conflict, Leaders, Ordinary Citizens, Community Life, and Works of the Imagination.
