Yet, Toronto is more defined by its communities and people rather than its geography, architecture or industries. People from all over the world have moved to this city to make it what it is today, that\u2019s the city\u2019s true strength. Torontonians celebrate this diversity in many different ways.<\/p>\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kensington Market, the heart of Toronto. This small neighbourhood, in the middle of the city\u2019s Chinatown, has been the artistic and cultural hub for Toronto for decades. It\u2019s home to musicians, poets, and a multitude of artists. In the summer the market closes its narrow streets to cars and opens them for pedestrians only on Sundays. People from all over the city crowd the laneways, bars, and coffee shops to enjoy food and to experience the array of art and music the neighbourhood is famous for. Here, a local Capoeria (a form of Afro-Brazilian martial arts) school practices on Baldwin street, one of the main streets of Kensington Market.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/002-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1623\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/002-1.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/002-1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/002-1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If there is one event that defines Toronto\u2019s summer, it&#8217;s Caribana. The annual Caribbean festival happens on the last weekend of July and has been ongoing since 1967. The Grand Parade itself is a wonder to behold, thousands of brightly dressed participants in the event make their way along Lakeshore Blvd to the booming sounds of Reggae and Soca music. Many of the participants, known as Mas Players, belong to rival bands, competing with one another during the parade. The smiles are endless and the energy is contagious throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/003-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1625\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/003-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/003-1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/003-1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/003-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/003-1.jpg?w=1900&amp;ssl=1 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One cannot talk about Toronto without mentioning winter. It defines roughly six months of the year here. Due to Toronto\u2019s humidity, the winters are usually bone-chillingly cold. Often in the end of January and the beginning of February, when the ice is thick enough and the weather stable enough, many Torontonians take to the ice on the city\u2019s frozen ponds. Games of shinny hockey and skating are common sights. People are just happy to be outside and they enjoy the real magic of winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/004-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1627\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/004-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/004-1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/004-1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/004-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hennaplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/004-1.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Pride is another massive event that really brings the city together. Pride is part activism and part celebration within the large and very diverse LGBTQI2 community of Toronto. The centre of which is located in \u201cThe Village\u201d &#8212; Church and Wellesley. At the end of June, the streets of the village are packed with throngs of people dancing and partying. The pride parade brings out people from all walks of life and backgrounds to celebrate the vast spectrum of love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily life in Toronto (photos)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1612,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[55],"tags":[71,83],"class_list":["post-1620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-coverage-middle-east","tag-canada-2","tag-toronto"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
