The Old Toronto Series (OTS) is an online and event-based project run by Morgan Cameron Ross since 2017.

In 2021, Old Toronto Series teamed up with local Black history-focused groups in the Little Jamaica area to discuss the history of the neighbourhood. Old Toronto Series partnered with Jamaican Canadian rapper and Vice President of Universal Music Canada, Kardinal Offishall, to present the video in a manner that was engaging to the youth of the city.

In addition, OTS has fundraised over $36k for the Daily Bread Food Bank and Toronto Humane Society.
