The vaccines are flowing, COVID cases are receding, restrictions are lifting, and the weather is hot. Welcome to the summer of love. What are you most excited about? Hugs? Traveling? Eating in restaurants? All of the above?

All this good news also coincides with the most joyful celebration in this city, Toronto Pride. While officially Pride, and all municipal festivals, has been canceled, we can still celebrate and show our pride safely and in small, distanced groups. The best way to celebrate pride this year is in that backyard or patio that you are now spending all your free time in. Throw on a colourful bathing suit, invite four other friends over and toast with a big glass of fizzy wine.

Happy Pride! And, as always, stay safe.
