The mascots brighten our day in place of winter carnival

For the  second year in a row,  due to the pandemic, the city had to cancel winter carnival activities. Let's hope that will not be necessary next year at this time.  I have great memories of this event from the time I was a young child growing up on Wentworth Avenue.  At that time all of the action took place at Kirwan Park, which was in my backyard. There was Bon'homme Carnival, taffy on the snow, fun and games and much more.

Mascots

Years later, when my daughter was little, I loved bringing her to Trudeau Park for the festivities.

As  a city councillor I helped preside over the annual figure skating competition awards and the always popular McDonald's Pancake Breakfast. We usually got good weather and that translated into a lot of families at the park, enjoying horse rides, food and fun.

This year our Parks and Recreation Department organized a Mascot Day.  Mayor Mitchell Brownstein, Andee Shuster and I met them at Trudeau Park. The kids on hand got a real kick out of their presence. Afterwards our official mascot, Luc the Turtle, joined me at Rembrandt Park in District 2 where we waved to cars passing by.
