New Year In Toronto

Written by on January 2, 2010 – 9:11 pm19 Comments | 7 Read this

Happy New Year everyone!

We left Ottawa on Tues­day to have some fun in Toronto. Now that we are back in Ottawa, there are hun­dreds of pic­tures to edit, but I fig­ured I’d start with New Year eve.

In Toronto, most of the party takes place down­town, in Nathan Phillips Square, at the cor­ner of Queen and Bay. There is a small skate rink (small by Ottawa stan­dards — remem­ber, we have the 7.8 kilo­me­ters long Rideau Canal!) and skat­ing seemed to be the num­ber one activ­ity. That and eat­ing junk food: I had never seen so many much cot­ton candy, pou­tine, hot dog, waf­fles and sausages!

It wasn’t cold, just a bit rainy. We walked around down­town for a few hours and fol­lowed the crowd to Nathan Phillips Square around 11:30 pm. It was quite fun and the small fire­works were a nice touch to the celebration.

So, what are your new years resolutions?
