 ... And no time for the parade

By Frances Petrucelli

Sir John A. Macdonald was at Queen's Park yesterday to celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday. So was the Queen herself.

The pair were among several hundred people who participated in the 18th annual Victoria Day parade.

Organizer Ian Payton said the crowd was smaller than last year, possibly because Toronto's stores were open as part of a SARS recovery plan.

Professional mime artist Michael Carl O'Neill donned dark green grease paint and latex covered in Vaseline in his enactment of the "living statue" of Sir John A. Ontario's minister of citizenship, Carl DeFaria, led the parade along Bloor St. to Yonge St., then back to the lawn of the Legislature.

 


Many thanks to

Mr. Gary Toffoli

for his invitation, support and indeed,

all of his efforts in making

The Queen Victoria's Birthday Parade

another success!
