Their homestead on Queen Street East was well to the west of the area currently identified as the Beaches. A later generation of the Ashbridge family rebuilt the family home in 1854 and can be seen on Queen Street East opposite the TTC barns near Kingston Road. The Beaches remained a sparely settled community until the end of the 19th century when extension of the Grand Truck Railway, the draining of the northern parts of Ashbridges Bay, and the construction of street car tracks on Queen Street and Kingston Road, opened the area to settlement. From Sunnyside Amusement Park built in 1922 to Scarboro Beach built in 1906, it seemed that Toronto cornered the market on summertime chills and thrills. We had 5 major amusement parks along our waterfront, and two smaller parks, Victoria Park and Munro Park, virtually unknown to Torontonians today, but extremely popular summertime places, years ago as pleasure parks. This walking tour is for all walking levels and fitness skills. Please dress for the season and bring water. And remember to bring your love of history. It begins outside the Beaches Branch of the Toronto Public Library at Queen Street East, and Lee Avenue adjacent to Kew Gardens. The tour ends at the Neville Park Queen Street Streetcar Loop. This tour has a ticket price of $15.00 per person. \*\* **Please note: Please e-transfer the ticket price when booking your space for this tour!

Overview Full Moon Energy Activation & Sound Bath in a stunning wooden sanctuary with nature views for deep relaxation, emotional release & renewal. Held at the Unitarian Congregation a spiritual sanctuary where mindfulness and contemplative practices are held year-round, this experience takes place in a warm, rustic hall surrounded by greenery and natural light. With soaring wooden beams and expansive windows overlooking trees and spring growth, the space feels like being held by nature while remaining comfortably indoors.

Following the Full Moon, this is a powerful time to: • release emotional heaviness • integrate recent shifts and insights • reset the nervous system • create space for clarity and new beginnings • reconnect with inner balance As nature opens and blossoms, the body and nervous system naturally respond to this rhythm of renewal. ### **A Safe Space to Slow Down & Restore** As the nervous system settles, the body softens and the mind quiets. Within this supportive and sacred environment, your process unfolds naturally and at your own pace. Participants often experience: • deep relaxation and nervous system reset • emotional release and clarity • relief from stress and mental overload • renewed energy and inner calm • a profound sense of presence Nothing is forced. The body opens when it feels safe. ### **Energy Activation & Sound Bath Experience** This immersive session combines: • Kundalini Activation energy transmission • guided relaxation & breathwork • sound healing & vibrational grounding • a trauma-aware, nervous-system-conscious space • time for deep inward processing Sound frequencies support the body’s natural release process and deepen relaxation. ### **Who This Experience Is For** This session may support you if you: • feel overwhelmed or mentally fatigued • seek emotional release in a safe environment • want deep relaxation and nervous system reset • feel called to reconnect inward • are curious about sound healing & energy work No prior experience needed. ### **What to Bring** • Yoga Mat • Water Spots are limited.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
