What Was My Backyard? whimsically enters into questions about the land and people of what is now Toronto. Exploring what came before the settlers arrived: Indigenous people, villages and ways of life, waterways, salmon, mastodons and giant beavers, What Was My Backyard? asks young people to think about what was here before on the land where our homes, playgrounds, parks, streets and backyards now stand, and allows us to imagine glimpses of answers.
