Hi,
Tomorrow will be my first Canada Day :-) Would you recommend some events to see in Toronto?

I recommend going to the parks where the garbage dumping is happening. There won't be traditional fireworks, but I'm sure there's going to be a fight or two!
Happy Canada Day!

Events will be happening at Queen's Park, the CNE Bandshell where you can catch the CHIN Picnic (multicultural celebration/festival), and Downsview Park.

Enjoy your first Canada Day. Hope that you find something memorable to do tomorrow.

Check out the stuff around town -- it will be a great day, except for the rain they are calling for :(

Thank you! We went to Queen's Park and the kids enjoyed the plays much. One of my picture from the place:

How one can forget such a big thing? ;-) By the way, closer point of view adds more dynamics to the picture. Judging by the trees and the direction of the sun rays, you were standing at the road side. The bikers were quite easy targets for hungry photographers waiting around so I have some pictures of them too. One of mine:

Nice fireworks, nice shot. I had to go to Richmond Hill tonight for the fireworks but had to change the plan.

Dont worry, it was my joke, of cause. If I try, i'm sure I can remind some biger things I forgot. Forgetfulness is a common human's nature :-)
