Many events and celebrations are returning in person after 2 years of COVID-19.
The Beaches Lions Easter Parade is back in-person this Sunday after two years off due to the pandemic.
But then, organizers heard the St Patrick's Day Parade got the green light from the city. The Easter parade then got its own permit. With the province relaxing COVID-19 restrictions in March, organizers kicked things into high gear, Ramsden says. For Aranoff, it's not only about the fun. The pandemic dealt the events industry a massive blow and forced many people who'd been in the business for years to leave. This is only the second large-scale event his group has been able to hold in months, after typically holding six to eight of them in the Toronto area each year, he says. But ticket sales for the Fun Fest have been good and he is feeling hopeful.
There would be a very short service, two minutes to pray "and then we'd have to ... scuttle them out," he said.
