Wednesday marks 50 years since the completion of the CN Tower’s main construction — the day the Toronto landmark became the world’s tallest freestanding structure, a title it held for over three decades. On that day, April 2, 1975, the city was abuzz in anticipation of the moment a helicopter known as “Olga” would slot the final piece of the $57-million tower’s antenna into place.

Ontario’s 1943 provincial election saw a number of firsts. It was the first of 13 consecutive elections where the Progressive Conservatives won the most seats. It was the first time the CCF, the predecessor of the NDP, formed the official opposition. And, in two downtown Toronto ridings, it was the first time Communists were elected to the Ontario Legislature. A small contingent of Communists maintained a presence at Queen’s Park well into the post-WWII red scare era.

A shiny sword, a stack of red packets, old Chinese books and brochures, a wooden folding fan, a souvenir mug, and faded photos of seniors – all are carefully displayed on a large round table draped in a red cloth. Nearby sits a Mahjong set, its colourful tiles arranged mid-game, as though the players have stepped away just before declaring victory. Large illustrated maps hang on the walls, pinned alongside drawings, photographs, and a sea of handwritten sticky notes.
