Iconic Toronto Streetcars Move the City
It’s hard not to notice the red streetcars zipping around the city, particularly in the downtown.

Rivers, Valleys, Lake
The topography of Toronto is amazing: a lush, green temperate region filled with hills and valleys, rivers and lakes. Situated on the north shore of Lake Ontario, the city is in a rich watershed that features iconic rivers such as the Humber and the Don.

You may know us from our involvement with the Toronto photography community. We launched our Instagram and website in 2018. We have featured more than 500 photographers 1500 posts, interviewed 50 photographers for our Five Questions feature, and led hundreds of GTA photographers on photo walks.
We have held an annual photo contest since 2019 and in 2021 we introduced the “Iconic Toronto” theme. This year, 2022, we will produce a photo book. We welcome contributors. Looking forward to seeing your shots! Be sure to order your copy through our crowd-funding site.
Thank You Volunteers, Sponsors and Contributors!
We truly appreciate the support of the Toronto photography community. We couldn’t do it without you.
