Refers to the history of the Bahá'í community in Toronto during that specific period. The Bahá'í Faith was established in 1863, with the declaration of Bahá'u'lláh as a Messenger of God. The faith emphasizes the oneness of God, religion, humanity, and the equality of all people. In Canada, the Bahá'í Faith has been present since 1898, with the first Canadian group forming in Montreal in 1902. The Toronto Bahá'í community's early development is documented in the book "Faithful Friends", covering the years 1919-1938. The first local governing council in Toronto was elected in 1938. The Bahá'í community in Ontario has been working to broaden its reach and share the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh. The Bahá'í teachings, which promote unity and the betterment of humankind, inspire their efforts.
