Toronto was just graced with another gorgeous spring weekend, and with no patio meals, sports games, music festivals or other activities typical of the season to take part in, residents got outside to enjoy themselves and the weather in one of the few ways they still can: by hitting up their local parks.

Trinity Bellwoods Park in Toronto was once again the site of a reckless spectacle this weekend as demonstrators congregated in and around the area to protest ongoing lockdown measures and stay-at-home orders.
Hundreds of Toronto residents gathered at the park on Saturday afternoon with anti-lockdown signs blatantly violating the province s outdoor gathering limits and Toronto lawyer Caryma Sa d, who was on-site during the protest, says demonstrators were not exercising safety precautions.
