The City of Toronto will be hosting four sanctioned Canada 150 events, collectively known as TO Canada With Love Honouring 150 Years.
The four sites include Mel Lastman Square, Scarborough Civic Centre (which have historically been event sites, and will now be formally included in the 150 celebrations), Nathan Philips Square, and Humber Bay Park West.
