Outdoor movies return to Sorauren Town Square
After a two-year absence, Friends of Sorauren Park are pleased to host the summer outdoor movie series on the Town Square once again. Mark your calendars for the fourth Saturday of the month from June to September. The first move—the classic 1994 Jim Carrey comedy Dumb and Dumber will screen Saturday, June 25, starting at 9:30 pm. For the full schedule visit our Outdoor Movie page.
The summer outdoor movies would not be possible without the financial support of our returning presenting sponsors: Chander Chaddah, Sutton Group Associates; Master Mechanic High Park; Dundas West Animal Hospital. Thanks also to our Snack Shack sponsor Scooter Girl Toys, and print sponsor KnightHawk StudioLab.
UPDATE: Sports Equipment Swap Postponed due to Rain—now will take place on Sunday, April 24
UPDATE: The forecast calls for rain on Saturday, April 23. So we’ve decided to hold the Swap the next day. The Swap will now take place on Sunday, April 24—same Drop-off and Swap times; same place. Please note, the Clean Toronto Together clean-up of both Sorauren and Charles G. Williams parks will still take place on Saturday, April 23, starting at 10 am. If you’ve volunteered for the clean up, dress for the weather.
Mark your calendars: The Great Sorauren Park Spring & Summer Sport Equipment Swap is scheduled for Saturday, April 23 on the Town Square.
The focus is on spring and summer sports and recreation gear. So, drop your gently used bicycles, baseball gear, golf equipment, basketballs, soccer balls, camping gear and more at the Town Square in the morning — and swap them for something new in the afternoon! Rain date: Sunday, April 24.
Please read the details including schedule below. The Swap is brought to you by the all-volunteer Friends of Sorauren Park. All left-over equipment will be donated to KIP Canada, which supports kids with incarcerated parents. Interested in meeting neighbours and supporting the community? You can also help out at the event by volunteering.
