Ever since my younger days as a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force band, I have loved parades and have marched in many in all weather.
As an East York resident, I always try to attend the July 1st event and enjoy the “smaller-scale” atmosphere of it. Arrive 5 minutes before it begins and you will still get a terrific vantage point.
People walking and even dancing on tall stilts was a feature this year:
There was also a good display of vintage vehicles:
many East York clubs:
other sights:
even Mayor Tory was there:

That’s the spirit! Happy Canada Day to you too, Miles!
Happy Canada day Miles! Your daily posts are a wonderful part of my day!
Talk about “taking back the flag!” I love the scale of this parade, and the photo of Mayor Tory. I thought he’d even painted his nails for Pride – until I took a closer look 👀😁
Thanks for this, Miles.
