BLOCKS
BLOCKS Toronto explores and re-imagines the city, documenting how buildings from the past continue to shape communities, block by block.
This is an opportunity to celebrate buildings and neighborhoods looking at the city blocks that hold countless stories of people and cultures that have lived, grown and continue in these shared spaces.
Using archival photos from the early 1900’s, player-pairs are out to identify long-standing buildings and locations in the here-and-now. Points are accumulated by finding and photographing the building or location, and getting as close as possible to the footprint of the original photographer.
The first event took place in 2012 and occurs once a year
