Friday night on Wards Island there was a joyous celebration of the win, with Mayor Chow leading a chant of "NO JETS!" before we paraded and later burned a jet effigy on the beach while paper mache Doug Ford and his cronies seethed.

As we celebrate Biidaasige Park's opening, a quick look at the designs that didn't win. The winning design by MVVA is very recognizable in the park we got: the meandering river, the big park on the harbour, and a focus on keeping the Keating Channel while naturalizing the harbour and river. 🧵

Terry Fox would've turned 68 today. Beside the word "hero" in every dictionary, there should be a photo of Terry Fox. One stop for him on his Marathon of Hope was throwing out the first pitch at a Jays game at Exhibition Stadium on July 11, 1980. Photo: Jann Van Horne, CP
