Summary
In honour of North York's 100th anniversary since its incorporation as a township, the City of Toronto opened a 50-year-old time capsule on July 13, 2022. The contents of the capsule provided a window to the past through letters, newspaper editions and handbooks from 1972, along with the former township's identity in a golden blue flag. Since then, no new time capsule has been buried. North York is now one of the six administrative districts in the City of Toronto, it has a vibrant history spanning across multiple disciplines including aviation, aerospace, the arts, parks, recreation, and transit. North York continues to be a world leader in welcoming new members into the community from around the globe.
