On February 21st, 2009, Bloor-Yorkville’s Icefest Festival took over the affluent retail neighbourhood. Armed with chisels, grinders, icepicks and chainsaws, artists from across Ontario carved out beautiful masterpieces out of the over 25,000 lbs of ice brought in for the event. Kids and adults alike were there to see the winter magic at work during the ice carving competition and demonstrations. Rebecca and Calvin tag-teamed to capture the ice sculptors and their emerging frozen wonders.
On January 20th, 2008, Toronto Cyclists’ Union and the City of Toronto jointly held their first (hopefully annual) Toronto Bike Awards at the Gladstone Hotel. With a winter-layering reverse strip-tease skit, cycle-machine races and live music from GUH and DJ duo Dorian and Dorian, Toronto Cyclists’ Union made sure it was an event to remember. New guy Calvin was on hand, and he got the goods from the organizers. He most definitely got the strip tease as well.
