This year the Toronto Star
celebrates its 125th anniversary and presents this online exhibit entitled,
'25 photos worth remembering.' Photographs range from May 31, 1900,
featuring a view of Toronto citizens celebrating Britain gaining control of
Pretoria, South Africa during the Second Boer War, to February 25, 2010,
featuring a shot of Haley Irwin and Meghan Agosta enjoying a beer while lying
on the ice after Team Canada's 2010 Olympic hockey victory over Team USA. The
images present high points and low points in Toronto and Canadian history.
Other photographs feature visits from Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana; the
Stanley Cup, won by the Maple Leafs in 1967, and other sports victories; John
Lennon and Yoko Ono; and the CN Tower under construction. There are also lots
of images of fires, snow storms, and other natural disasters, such as the worst
snowstorm ever to hit Toronto in December 1944, which overturned a streetcar
