Hello everyone, it’s been a while since our last blog. Here’s a look back at how the streets were empty in an effort to fight Covid-19. These were taken in mid-March. We have also gone in to our archives to give you an idea of what these areas would look like if we weren’t taken action. Or better put, to show as a collective society how we have taken action to combat Covid-19.
Taste of the Danforth 2019
This year’s Taste of the Danforth took place August 9th to 11th. We attended Saturday afternoon-night as well as Sunday evening. Great entertainment, food and fun! We will let our pictures do all the talking.
Festival of South Asia 2019
Today I went down to the Festival of South Asia in Toronto’s Little India. (Gerrard Street East and Coxwell Avenue). As soon as I got there I saw Mayor John Tory along with Toronto-Danforth Councillor Paula Fletcher. They were being introduced to local business owners by Tasneem Bandukwala, TD Festival of South Asia Executive Director, and Gerrard India Bazaar Manager.
The street fest was just getting underway and it wasn’t too busy at this point. I was able to take in all the sights before it got crowded. There were racks of colourful clothing between yummy food vendors. I also spotted lots of activities for kids - a sidewalk chalk area, bubbles, jump rope to name a few.
