A Photowalk Before The Lockdown
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.
Toronto Islands March 12, 2020
Hi everyone, it’s been a while since we’ve blogged. Life has been hectic. So we thought we would blog about our visit to the Toronto Islands on March 12, 2020. This is from a day that turned out to be the beginning of the lockdown in Ontario.

Pumpkin Parade 2019 at Sorauren Avenue Park in Toronto
Hi everyone. We hope you had a great Halloween. We know it was raining in the Toronto area most of the night, but there is always the day after Halloween to celebrate all the creative pumpkins. Our Blog today is about our walk through Sorauren Avenue Park’s Pumpkin Parade that took place on November 1st 2019. Pumpkin Parades are growing in popularity across Toronto and the entire country. We wonder if they will become more popular then Halloween at the rate that their popularity grows.

Toronto’s Caribbean Carnival’s Grand Parade took place on Saturday August 3rd on Lakeshore Boulevard West. I ended up near the main stage and got to see the mas bands competition. What an experience! High energy and great vibes all around. More pics below.
Beaches Jazz Festival 2019
I attended the Beaches Jazz StreetFest on Friday night with a friend. We started off at Woodbine Avenue and Queen Street East. The first group of musicians we saw was the Samba Squad, a drumming group lead by award winning percussionist, Rick Shadrach Lazar. This group is very skilled. They had quite the coordination! I wanted to stay to see more but we had to move on and check out some more music.
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.
2019 Toronto Raptors Championship Parade
York Street and Station Street (just south of Front Street)
I had the opportunity to attend the Raptors Parade and I’m glad I did. It was a day to remember!
I took the subway to Union Station and walked along Front street over to York Street. I walked a bit north to see I could find a spot but the crowd was insane. I decided to walk south on York Street.
There were plenty of free spots under the bridge. I found one and stood for a while as it was getting close to 10am. I wanted to make sure I had a decent vantage point in order to take pictures. I took a few shots but made the though decision to move as it was dark and there were pillars blocking the view.
