The 2006/7 Acton High School Concert and Jazz band director Peter Wilcox received a lovely sash and a new baton and hat from his grateful students during the year's last school performance.

Kevin is currently in grade nine and plays trumpet in the concert band. On Saturday May 5 the band will begin their exciting journey to Chicago for a five day stay in the United States.

My brother Joe and I head out on a nice Saturday to explore Scarboro Bluffs in the southeast section of Toronto. We gain access to the constantly changing cliffs from Bluffers Park on Brimley Road. You can see some people at the top of the bluffs - risking life and limb for a view.

They were shooting another movie on the beach by the cliffs - something with a mountie, a horse and some gunfire. We stayed for a few hours watching the various takes being acted out then we also went to the top of the cliffs.

At the park at the top of the cliffs we found three cute little baby raccoons - lost without their mother. The tiny babies were cuddling together for warmth and comfort - although no one wanted to be on the bottom. Click on this link to see more of the bluffs, the movie and the raccoons.

We walked down to Prospect Park as the temperatures hit the high 20's and much to our surprise some of the baby geese have arrived. The bouncing bundles of fuzzy yellow goslings were eager for food and got quite close to us.

We also caught the cute little things on the video below and also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgGw6JDhsJE and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUBveG2regw

While it started out cloudy and cool the day ended up being just perfect in Toronto, Ontario. I parked down at the lake and biked around Cherry Beach, Tommy Thompson Park (Leslie Spit), the Distillery District, City Hall and Queen Street. Even the police were out on bikes, above, at the Young Dundas Park across from the Eaton Centre.

The Distillery District had the 2007 Fashion Cares event which is held to raise money to fight HIV/AIDS. The district was open to the public until about 5 PM then the festivities began. I noticed George Stroumboulopoulos host of CBC's The Hour out in the crowd meeting with his fans before helping to host the event and he graciously stood still for a picture (PS we all love his show).
