The East York Canada Day parade preparations took place in damp weather Friday morning at Dieppe Park on Cosburn Ave. But the 47th annual parade began on time and headed off to Stan Wadlow Park. The day was rainy, then sunny, then rainy, then sunny. The video shows the crowd and some old police cars. Also present was Phillip Wilson of East York with his 1948 Monarch (Mercury) showing a mere 31,000 miles on the odometer. The Monarch, like the lower-end Meteor, was produced by the Ford Motor Company solely for the Canadian market. East York Canada Day Schedule.
