In the 19th century East Downtown Toronto was home to several poor
Houses and by the turn of the century the slums of Cabbagetown
housed
Thousands of factory workers who were employed by rich
industrialists.

East Downtown Toronto in the 1950's was home to Canada's largest
skid row and during the 1990's the corner of Dundas and Sherbourne
became the site of some of most militant anti-poverty demonstrations
in Canada. Now Toronto's oldest working class neighbourhood is
disappearing. How did this happen? How can we fight back?
