The Parkdale Residents Association has established an historical committee, Parkdale Historical Society, to delve more deeply into the history of Parkdale and relationship to the present.
Recently UofT students from the history department taking a course titled ‘Hacking History’ completed a website for the PRA and the newly formed Parkdale Historical Society. Stay tuned for the launch of the new website delving into our local history.
Over the coming months we hope to draw on the residents of Parkdale and beyond to bring the Parkdale Historical Society into the public realm.
