Protesters across Toronto marked the one-year anniversary of G20 riots on Saturday.

Hundreds of people participated in a peaceful rally at the Ontario legislature. Later in the day, about 200 protesters, some carrying signs, gathered at the corner of Queen Street West and Spadina Avenue, where the controversial "kettling" incident happened.

Last year, a massive police cordon contained hundreds of people in a rainstorm for hours. Many of them were not protesters and just happened to be passing by.

During the G20 Summit, CBCNews.ca used social media and citizen contributions to help track developments. We received more than 3,000 photos from the public and dozens of compelling videos. Here's a look back at the G20 riots, told through your perspective.
