The long standing Hasty Market business at 1213 Bayview Avenue, at the corner of Bayview and Moore Avenues has vacated their space. If you’re wondering where to get your lottery tickets, jug of milk or a bag of chips, don’t worry, they’ve relocated to the plaza at Bayview and Merton, south of the Pizza Hut.

Leaside Memorial Community Gardens will host its 4th FREE Concussion Education Clinic in the William Lea Room 7:00pm on Tuesday September 27th, 2022. (The event will also be live streamed for those who cannot attend in person.) All members of the community are invited to attend this important educational event, now that our kids are getting back on the ice to enjoy the activities they love so much.

Parents, coaches, volunteers, and instructors will all benefit from hearing the latest information on kids and concussion. The concussion education clinic is the fourth health and safety event offered by Leaside Gardens and the second to focus on concussion. The facility is grateful for the financial support of the Dr. Tom Pashby Sports Safety Fund, which enables these sessions to be offered at no charge to attendees.

For more details about the event, visit www.leasidegardens.com.

The seminar is FREE, but you must register to attend in person at LMCG, or to watch the LIVE webcast: follow the Eventbrite link here.

We thought you’d enjoy a little collection of unusual highway closures from last month. Baby chicks, Alfredo sauce, and tomato sauce complicated travel in August.

Thanks to Leaside tipster, Geoff Kettel, we have a glimpse of what will be a filming location at Rumsey Road and Bessborough Drive. Cameras will start rolling on Wednesday. The City’s website keeps a list of production crews that are currently shooting movies and TV shows in Toronto. Have a look.

Meanwhile, road closure signs have been posted on King Street downtown, as TIFF 2022 will take place from September 8th to 18th.
