One of the highlights of spring in Toronto, High Park's cherry trees are blossoming. The trees, donated to the city by the citizens of Tokyo, are located in a sloping grove near Grenadier Pond and are a wonderful sight at this time of year. The trees are approximately 80% in bloom at the moment, making this weekend the perfect time to visit, as long as heavy rain doesn't destroy these delicate flowers. See the......

Following the unveiling of the EcoCab in Toronto last week Torontoist spotted the pedi-cab being presented to councillor Howard Moscoe outside City Hall yesterday.

EcoCabs are expected to roll out on downtown streets Thursday.......

Raising awareness for Sunnybrook's Underwear Affair, a group of daring individuals dressed in underwear-based costumes—makeshift superheroes if you will—entered Union Station's Great Hall during rush hour, and froze in place for five minutes, as home-bound commuters rushed by, doing double-takes all the way. The Underwear Affair is a 10k run and 5k walk on August 23, which aims to raise money for below-the-waist cancers, such as prostate and ovarian cancer. Costumes are encouraged! More......

The Petition Car will be delivered......
