YearsAlongTheSea Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Where does one go in Toronto to catch a good glimpse of some Canada Day fireworks? Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) I'd guess that outside at the Docks during the High Life Festival should offer a pretty good view. Say what you will about the venue, it has a wicked view of the waterfront.Fireworks are at Mel Lastman Square http://www.toronto.ca/special_events/canada/index.htm Edited July 1, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 High Life is just not in the budget; wish it was. Thanks for the link B.R....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Hmmm, Mel Lastman Square is way uptown. Are there any fireworks going down over the waterfront? Anywhere downtown where you could get a good view of fireworks happening uptown? Is there such a thing as a stupid question? Was that question stupid? Thanks in advance....

paisley Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 perhaps you'd be more up on things if you'd attended this (sounds like it would've been GOOD TIMES!): June 23, 2006 Media Advisory - Firework safety tips for Canada Day Date: Monday, June 26Time: 11:30 a.m.Location: Lake Ontario beach (near the foot of Windermere Avenue)Fireworks are not toys.
