I was downtown on Sunday - on my way to the ROM for a member's event - "Instruments and Architecture".  When what to my wondering eyes should appear on Bloor Street but the "Grey Cup Fan Parade"!!!  So I abandoned my cultural pursuits and chased the parade across Bloor and down Yonge Street to Gerrard.  What can I tell you ... I do love a spectacle!!!!!

.... according to the parade "announcer", this is the actual Grey Cup - fans were being given the opportunity to "carry" the cup for a portion of the parade route!!!!!
