What: Bloor-Yorkville lights up with holiday magic
When: Saturday November 22, 4:30 – 5:30 pm
Where: Village of Yorkville Park (On Cumberland between Avenue and Bellair)
Though we have enjoyed some pleasantly warm weather through most of November, that familiar crunch under our feet means its winter again. That means pushing through sidewalk crowds who are both boxed-in by snowbanks and stopping to window shop at every story, getting the bottom of your pants soaked from trudging through snow, navigating the curbside slush-swamps when crossing streets, and… well pretty lights!
On Saturday, November 22, the lights are switched on in the Bloor-Yorkville neighbourhood with lighting displays “lit†simultaneously to join popular animated storefront windows and charming decorations — a part of the citywide Cavalcade of Lights celebration
The event is going to be hosted by Steven Sabados and Chris Hyndman (CBC TV’s Steven and Chris Show) and will feature Zero Gravity Circus performers.

What: Mobile City Book launch
When: Thursday, November 27, 6 pm
Where: George Brown School of Design (230 Richmond Street E)
The Mobile City is a project aimed at enhancing youth participation in community building in the twin cities of Milan and Toronto. It is meant to provide urban youth in those cities with a platform to share their dreams and insights about urban life. Through the use of digital photography posted to the photo galleries on this web site, as well as commentary on the discussion board, the project will act as a bridge between the two cities, the two nations and the two different cultures.
The winners from the Mobile City contest have been compiled into a book which will be released next week. Daniela Benelli, the Minister of Culture for the Province of Milan will be the event’s special guest.
