Toronto has erupted in a celebration of colour as rainbows spread across the city in anticipation of WorldPride, which takes over the city from June 20 to 29.
The first of two rainbow-coloured crosswalks was installed at Church and Alexander streets overnight on June 3, with the second painted at Church and Isabella streets the following night.
Also June 4, Toronto Public Health unveiled the city’s first official condom. The “CondomTO” has an illustration of the street signs for Coxwell Avenue, Wood Street and Cummer Avenue and carries the message “No matter which way you go, put it on.” The condoms are being deployed around the city, particularly in the Church-Wellesley neighbourhood, in advance of WorldPride.
Meanwhile, the Church and Wellesley branch of TD Canada Trust unveiled a rainbow vinyl wrap on its building and around its ATMs.
