All summer long, Toronto has been jam-packed with countless cultural festivities, and as the last weekend of the summer begins to dawn on us—with students gearing up for school and vacations coming to an unfortunate end—why not end the summer with some Ukrainian style?

When you go through the doors of City Hall, one of the first things you'll probably see (especially if you're headed to the café, library, or washrooms) is "Metropolis" to your immediate right, an expansive "mural" made out of 100 000 nails, their blunt ends jutting out in patterns of concentric circles. And you won't be able to resist running your hand along it, no matter how late you are for your meeting or how badly you have to get to the washroom. It is arguably, after the building itself, the most impressive and affecting piece of art within Toronto's City Hall.

Toronto Pride is touted as the biggest in Canada... North America... or the world or something. Every queer and their mother told me this tidbit before I moved here, so I had to come and see. After having a great time at the parties and the Church and the community festivities, I checked out the parade. After being pelted with a Gillette® razor, Trojan® condoms and some Naya® water from the passing floats, I thought... After all, this Torontoist is no size queen.

In this post, Torontoist mistakenly implied that the Yard Sale for the Cure was happening only in the The Beaches/The Beach.

The parade begins tomorrow at 10:15 in High Park, with John Turner as Parade Marshal. Other activities include a 9am Saturday Morning Pancake Breakfast and street dance parties aplenty. Perhaps you'll even see a former Prime Minister shake it like a polarioid picture. Or not.
