Missing Plaque Project Poster - Lost Chinatown.

The Missing Plaque Project is run by Tim Groves.

Since 2002, he's been posting 10 x 16-inch posters at historical sites he thinks have been neglected by more official sources. His first poster commemorated the Christie Pits Riot. Since then he's posted markers noting the borders of Toronto's original Chinatown near Nathan Phillips Square, a poster on William Berczy who is Toronto's forgotten founder and others.

Thus far, Tim has created a total 15 missing plaques:

• Bathhouse Raids
• William Berczy - A forgotten founder of The City
• Christie Pits Riot
• Asylum Wall
• Halloween Riot
• Lost Chinatown
• Revenue Rez
• A Memorial to The Rebels
• Teiaiagon
• The Ward
• Streetcar Strike
• Women's Shoe Strike
• The Wonscotonach River
• The Yonge Street Riot
• Free Speech Battles
