"Freedom Arches
The Citizens of Toronto dedicate these arches to the
millions who struggled including Canadians, to gain
and defend freedom and to the tens of millions who
suffered and died for the lack of it. May all that we do
be worthy of them. Only in freedom can the Human Spirit soar.
Against the human drive for freedom nothing can long succeed. This plaque is mounted on a slab of the Berlin Wall."
The iconic Toronto sign that has been sitting in front of city hall in Toronto has been moved only a few feet away but it will never look quite the same as it does in front of the water fountain at city hall.

Good news - the sign is staying until the end of the year:

This may be the quietest moment the city of Toronto has ever experienced. The only people out in the streets on this night were security guards and people the homeless. At the bottom of this picture is a candle lit on a very wind, misty and overcast night.

Karen and I went for a drive to Toronto to get some summer city shots.. We parked at City hall and spent four hours walking around the downtown core, taking In the sights like tourists. The core is such a bustle of activity that we are not accustomed to.... so many cars, buses and people all frantic to get somewhere, to do something and you had better not slow them down.
I took a few shots that I think turned out really well. This one is of City hall taken from across Nathan Phillips Square; the three arches frame the TORONTO sign nicely don't you think.?

.... On the left, you'll see a new Toronto sign being constructed. The 2015 sign was meant to be temporary, the new one is sturdier and permanent ....

Vinyl Wrap: Patterns of the People
Title: Patterns for the People (POP)
Artwork by: Danilo Deluxo McCallum
The artwork design on the TORONTO Sign uses vibrant African fabric patterns as a backdrop to represent the diverse community of people of African descent in Toronto and globally.
Woven into the colourful patterns are African cultural symbols like the Adinkra Sankofa bird, which represents the importance of moving forward through recalling the past.
The inclusion of portraits of Canadians of African descent is an important statement in recognition that people of African descent are here, beautiful, bold and proud, holding Toronto accountable for justice and equity.
The City of Toronto recognizes the United Nations’ International Decade for People of African descent (2015 to 2024).

The letter "N" was left off for what we assume to be for the Nova Scotia.
The Mayor announced " The Toronto Sign will be lit in red today for #WearRedFriday in honour of the victims of the tragic shooting in Nova Scotia. Toronto continues to send the love and support of our entire city to Nova Scotia in the wake of this terrible tragedy.#NovaScotiaStrong" Source: twitter.com/JohnTory/status/1253656755340525569
