Pumpkin Parade Lives On

Halloween season began with a fright after it was announced Thursday that the annual?Pumpkin Parades were in danger of cancellation. Fortunately, the parade will live on after a meeting between City of Toronto bureaucrats resulted in a pumpkin removal plan.

The City of Toronto will place pumpkin pick-up bins around the permitted pumpkin parade parks. This way, during and after the parade, pumpkins can be neatly discarded.?

Concern has been raised about pumpkins coming and going instead of all being lined up simultaneously. However, this is the city's solution to an otherwise cancelled event. It is also an attempt, on the city's behalf, to encourage a permit system because parks who have not applied for permits will not receive bins.

Permits can be obtained by calling 311.?
