Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Toronto's annual Cavalcade of Lights twinkles downtown last night; with the focus on Nathan Phillips Square. More than 100;000 bulbs will brighten up the city until Jan. 12 - long after the official Christmas cheer is over. If you head downtown today for a hard day's Yeletide shopping; don't bother bringing along your parka. Although it may be a bit windy; the sun should be shining and temperature could get as high as 10C.
