A Photowalk Before The Lockdown
in Toronto
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.

Raccoons Reimagined @ the CNE
in Toronto, Public Art
On our most recent visit to The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), we walked by the Princess Margaret Fountain and discovered these colourful raccoons. We took pictures of all of them because they were decorated so uniquely. There are 4 days left until the CNE shuts down for another year so if you are planning to going, be sure and visit these amazing raccoons. They are very detailed both front and back.

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
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.
