Toronto Marathon – May 1
The Toronto Marathon is on May 1 and a portion of it “runs” right through our neighbourhood.  Check out the Road Closures so you don’t get stuck. The runners will be at the 21km mark as they pass through Corktown so if you have time to go out an cheer them on, I’m sure it will be greatly appreciated!

Bayview Ave between River St and Queen St E will be resurfaced this spring.  It is tentatively scheduled for a FULL CLOSURE between May 2 and May 20.
