Torontopedia! - Your Wiki in The City
" Together, the writers of a city end up collectively writing that city. "
— Dionne Brand,
Toronto's current Poet Laureate
Welcome to Torontopedia! This TorontoWiki is a website about Toronto, Ontario, Canada that anyone can edit without knowing about web-stuff. This project is an interconnected community effort to explore, discuss and compile anything and everything about Toronto — especially the little known, enjoyable things. This guide is continually being updated, expanded, and improved.
Everything on this site has been written by someone in or around Toronto because they want to share what they love (or loathe) about our city. You can learn more about Torontopedia on our Wiki Community pages. You can search the site by using the box on the upper right of every page, or you can use the pre-sorted links below to go to the most popular sections.
