Canada Day is coming back to Victoria Park. All the complaints that traditional family-oriented celebrations have taken a back seat to other activities at the Festival of Lights have prompted City Council to revive this popular event. We are not intending to compete with the FoL, but the idea is to run a parallel, scaled-down alternative that will offer simple fun and entertainment for the whole family, a proper flag raising, singing of Oh Canada, and whatnot. That’s the gist of it for now. We have eleven months to plan exactly what will take place, but we’ve committed to the idea.
Do You Get Many Calls?
Received a phone call yesterday from someone wishing not to be identified who witnessed a police cruiser "callously" speed through a puddle, thereby splashing an elderly woman on the sidewalk.

This makes so much sense., heading to Victoria park with family/friends was always a big event when I was growing up.
Nice work.
Great news. This is similar to my “one place for families, one place for drunks/assholes” plan.
Steven, the name of your plan has a certain ring to it, but I don’t think it will make it into any promotional material.
