Jack and Ernie Taylor emigrate to Canada in 1921, and three years
later their parents, Mary and John Taylor, along with their
brothers and rascal of a grandfather, Job, move to the city. It is
one of the most dynamic decades in the history of Toronto. The
family thrives, despite the different temperaments involved, thanks
in part to the strength of Mary's discipline. She provides
structure for her sons, yet they still enjoy the diverse
frivolities of the time. Share in their daily life during the
Roaring Twenties as they: Cross Toronto harbour on a side-paddle
ferry Attend a baseball game at Hanlan's Point Sail aboard the
Cayuga to Port Dalhousie Attend a Remembrance Day service at the
old city hall Observe the 60th anniversary of the Confederation of
Canada Experience the CNE, the biggest and grandest annual fair in
the world Share the laughter of a vaudeville show at the Pantages
Theatre Visit Sunnyside, Toronto's summer playground by the lake
"Toronto the Good" was evolving into a dynamic, sinful metropolis,
adored by many and feared by others. The Taylors witness the
cultural identity and infrastructure of their adopted city becoming
firmly established during a time of rapid urban expansion. "There
Never Was a Better Time: Toronto's Yesterdays" is an entertaining
and informative history of an immigrant family during one of the
most thrilling times in Toronto's history.
