It’s the most wonderful time of the year in Toronto…carnival time! After a 2 year hiatus, Lakeshore Blvd will spillover with a colourful display of Caribbean culture. This carnival I won’t be ‘playing mas’ but I’ll for sure be taking in the festivities. I was especially excited to take Reign to kiddies carnival.
