Snow invited me to ABG Day yesterday at Allenbury Gardens. What I witnessed was a community coming out to enjoy free ice cream, BBQ, drinks and several bouncy castles. Oh yes, and great music and plenty of giveaways, including bikes and skateboards. It was wonderful.
The man behind this annual celebration is Snow, and I witnessed dozens of old friends from the community reuniting and sharing the joy on a sunny warm Toronto Sunday. This was no lonely, lonely, lonely Sunday morning.
