New vetrans' memorial in Queens Park Downtown toronto reflections

Toronto is a busy city. The downtown core is more spread out than Vancouver. We visited the new veterans’ memorial that was unveiled by the province of Ontario in Queen’s park. There are many boardwalks along Lake Superior. We walked one that Marg’s Mum and Dad walked in their youth. Another highlight of Toronto was visiting the home that Marg’s Mum grew up in on Scarborough St. near the Scarborough Bluffs. The current owner’s invited us in and gave us a tour and indicated the changes that they implemented.

My cousin Eric and his family hosted our motor home and we stayed at my Aunt’s apartment.

Marg and I drove into downtown Toronto on a Saturday and found a spot to park the beast. We then walked Queens and University Streets. Queens is like Robson Street, but not as European. John Fluvog has a shop on Queens.

The weather was not cooperative and this prevented us from taking an elevator up the CN Tower.

I am going to work a little harder on solving this internet problem of no service.

Toronto supports a nuclear power station on Lake Ontario near Pickering just off the boardwalk and swimming beach.

Cheers
