This time capsule is intended to be sealed for one hundred and ninety-six years.

The York Civic Centre housed the municipal government of the former city of York, Ontario, now part of the city of Toronto. It is located at 2700 Eglinton Avenue West in the neighbourhood of Beechborough-Greenbrook. Formerly home to the City of York Council, the building now houses Toronto West Court Office.

York's Civic Centre does not have a public square like several other civic centres in Toronto, but is located next to Coronation Park and York Memorial Collegiate.

There is a time capsule present on the grounds, adjacent to the city of York's war memorial. It is intended to be opened in 2193, Toronto's quadricentennial anniversary.
