Oh boy! Oh boy! It's going to be a heck of a birthday cake. All those candles are sure to start a six-alarm blaze. They're only 2.5 million people waiting for their slice of torte you know. It's not every day that the formerly known 'Town of York' turns 175. That's impressive!Toronto is so rich in diversity and thrives on multiculturalism shaping it's foundation.
This weekend T.O. is party central with various events to mark this milestone event which includes free admission to eight of T.O.'s historical museums. Historical exhibits, theatrical performances and film screenings along with photography displays and re-enactments at Nathan Phillips Square are also a few of the many things the whole family can enjoy. City Hall is even launching a new commemorative book about our fair city.
Even Mayor Miller is going to be kickin' it (that's real old school) with a debate with none other than our first Mayor William Lyon Mackenzie as played by actor Eric Peterson (Corner Gas). And who doesn't like a good ol' fashioned healthy debate eh? Go get em' Lyon!
Don't just sit there reading, get out there and celebrate. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TORONTO! Here's to many, many more! Now how about that cake. Where can I find a ginormous oven to bake it? Hmmmm....
