Members of the Beach Village BIA and the Danforth East Community Association organized this event to honour our Olympians, no doubt inspired by the neighbourhood’s very own Penny Oleksiak. It will start at 11 a.m. in East Lynn Park. The parade will then make its way onto Queen Street East and head east until Kew Gardens Park. Oleksiak, won four medals at the games and carried Canada’s flag into the closing ceremonies, will be there along with fellow 16-year-old medalist Michelle Williams, who won a bronze with Oleksiak in the 4X100 metre freestyle rally.

Toronto Public Health has left The Bulldog speechless.  (Yes, that is a rare event.)

Penny Oleksiak sauntered into one of her occasional haunts Wednesday night with some pals. That would be McSorley’s Wonderful Saloon on South Bayview. Penny has been at the well-known saloon before and staff fully expect to see her again. She graciously agreed to some pictures. McSorley’s is known for the self-effacing humour of former owner Simon Hanlon. Service, Quality, Price — Pick Any Two is a giggle enjoyed by many. But a visit from Penny Oleksiak is better than a plug in the Michelin Guide. McSorley’s Wonderful Saloon is sold but Simon stays on

There was an industrial accident at the corner of Mt. Pleasant and Eglinton Ave. Wednesday mid-morning. It is thought to have involved demolition work at the old bank building which is being re-built to serve as the LRT station. Bricks and stone sills are being stored so that the building may be re-built to an appearance similar to its original. Large doors and other necessary features will be installed to permit the crowds which will use the station.

ALL CLEAR: Mt Pleasant & Eglinton has re-opened. 74 Mt Pleasant & 103 Mt Pleasant North buses have returned to regular routing. #TTC

The winds have been just strong enough to irritate some people around South Bayview this afternoon.  It’s recycling night and Mother Nature has decided to mix things up a little before the Waste Management trucks could pick up their loot.  The alarming sound of popping could be heard as cars drove over coffee cups flying down the road.
