July 1 parade starts at East York Town Centre

A long standing and entertaining Canada Day parade from East York Town Centre, 45 Overlea Blvd will  go off  tomorrow (Monday, July 1, 2013). It winds its way to Stan Wadlow Park on Cosburn Ave. First up at 9.30 a.m. is a motorcade of  antique cars. This event will pay tribute to Gordon Hazzlett, author of several antique car books. Mr. Hazzlett was a long-standing member of the parade organizing committee who died earlier this year. At 10 a.m., the parade will pass Dieppe Park, 455 Cosburn Ave., where local groups will join in. As the parade passes the East York Civic Centre, 850 Coxwell Ave., the East York Legion and pipe bands will join, along with military vehicles. Guests can get a view of the parade from the reviewing stand in front of the fire station on Woodbine Avenue, just north of Mortimer Avenue. As usual there are other family events on hand at Wadlow Park. Sounds like fun.
