2,000th Post!
It's hard to believe but this is the 2,000th post for Occasional Toronto - obviously more than occasional. For the occasion I present a beautiful version of the Canadian Coat of Arms that I found in the walkway of the Air Canada Centre (ACC) where our beloved Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team plays. The ACC is on the site of the former Toronto Postal Delivery Building and although 2 facades of the building with their art were retained and restored this coat of arms was on a side that disappeared. It and a few other lovely pieces are now displayed in the Centre. The motto, 'Ad Mari Usque Ad Mare', translates as 'From Sea To Sea'. This is a lovely detailed version of the coat of arms!

Congratulations! A lot of camera clicks involved.
Congrats on all the effort of getting pix for 2000 posts! I enjoy it every day. So many rural Ontarians lived in Toronto for at least a short period in their lives, even though we all complain about it now!
