The year 2020 will be an exciting year for Bloorcourt! For the past couple of years, we have been planning for the installation for three parkettes in the neighbourhood. Locations include:
Inspiration for the elements of the parkette designs draws on the imagery of a local fruit market and the recent Rosina Shopkeeper research project with Heritage Toronto. Construction for the parkettes is slated to begin in spring 2020. We look forward to seeing people enjoying the parkettes once they are complete. These are made possible with a partnership with the City of Toronto BIA Office.   Bloorcourt Pumpkins is back!
In celebration of Fall and Halloween, we created this community initiative in the fall of 2018. How does it work? Bloorcourt businesses will be given a pumpkin to decorate, carve, dress up, paint or get creative with. Members of the community will then need to visit the pumpkins online (by following the hashtag #BloorcourtPumpkins) or visiting them in store. Then, members of the community will vote for their favourite pumpkins! When does it take place? Pumpkins should be ready and on display in stores or windows by October 25th for voting to take place from October 26th to November 1st @ 11:59pm. Where does voting take place? Vote online here! One round of voting per email. Voting closes on November 1st at 11:59pm. What are the prizes? The winning Business Pumpkins will win cash awards as follows:
Community Voter Prizes There are also 4 (four) cash prizes of $25 that will be drawn at random by all qualifying email addresses that voted for their favourite pumpkins. *individual staff members of businesses are eligible to vote. When will the prizes be announced? All prizes will be announced or winners contacted no later than November 10th, 2019.
