Summer in the City Continues with even more happening in Cabbagetown this week.
The Pride Weekend Street Festival begins Friday evening, June 28th,
2013.
Let’s all be proud that our Pride Week Festival is officially designated
as a City of Toronto “Signature Event”, as well as one of Canada’s largest
cultural festivals and one of the world’s largest Pride events.
East-west streets severed by the Church St.
closure will be designated “two-way” for the duration of the closure. Access
will be available from Yonge St. or Jarvis St. While vehicular access will be
limited, your driveway and garage entrances will not be blocked. Toronto Police
Officers or Pride Toronto Safety Ambassadors will be stationed at all necessary
intersections to ensure that residents have access to and from their homes.
Should your garage exit onto Church St, Wellesley St E or Alexander St. there
will be limited opportunities to exit or enter. Please view the list of road
closures stated below.
Pride Toronto is working with the City of
Toronto to ensure continued safety of the neighbourhood during our celebrations.
Questions or Concerns? Please contact us at
416-927-7433
Please Note: There will be no parking during
street closures and during these additional times:
Wood St. between Church St. & Mutual St,
Maitland St between Church St and Yonge St (beginning Friday, June 28th at 12:01am), Charles Street between Yonge St & 100ft West of Church
(beginning 6:00pm Friday, June 28th) and Isabella St. (beginning 6:00pm Friday,
June 28th).

Canada Day is Monday, July 1st
Most
communities across the country will host organized celebrations for Canada Day,
usually outdoor public events, such as parades, carnivals, festivals,
barbecues, air and maritime shows, fireworks, and free musical concerts,
as well as
citizenship
ceremonies for new citizens. There is no standard mode of
celebration for Canada Day; there doesn't seem to be a central recipe for how to celebrate
it—chalk it up to the nature of the federation.
Glen Murray's Constituency Office, 514 Parliament St.
As we
approach the upcoming long-weekend, I would like to take this opportunity to
invite you and your networks to come celebrate Canada Day with MP Bob Rae and
MPP Glen Murray in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood of Toronto Centre.
This event
will be a wonderful opportunity to share some fun and food as a community while
celebrating everything that makes up Canada.
Should you
have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office
for more information.
Thank you,
Date: Monday, July 1st, 2013
Time: 11:30am-1:30pm
Where: St. Lawrence Market North, 95 Front Street East
What: BBQ, Entertainment, Fun!

The Ben Wicks Restaurant and Pub, 424 Parliament St.

Ben's good companionship and his conviviality into our daily atmosphere. Recent
renovations in both our pub and restaurant have enhanced our warm and welcoming
atmosphere - the one that Ben himself created over 29 years ago.
Our kitchen regularly introduces new menus,
bringing new ideas and flair to our meals. Our wine and beer selections cover a

our spacious dining room.
