TORONTO Pedestrians and cyclists will once again take over some major Toronto arteries this weekend as the ActiveTO program returns for the first time in 2021. The program was introduced last spring as a way to provide more space for pedestrians and cyclists and ultimately involved the closure of select major streets for 25 weekends between May and October. City council approved its return for 2021 “and beyond” this past winter and now details have been released about the first ActiveTO closures of the year, which are set for this weekend. The city says that the eastbound lanes of Lakeshore Boulevard East will be closed between Leslie Street and Woodbine Avenue and Bayview Avenue from 6 a.m. on Saturday until 9 p.m. on Sunday. Bayview Avenue will also be closed in both directions between Front Street East and Rosedale Valley Road over the same time period.

TORONTO Emergency crews say a quick-thinking neighbour with a ladder was able to rescue two children from a burning home in Newmarket, Ont. prior to their arrival on Monday morning. York Regional Police say that after 5 a.m. Monday they were called to 1092 Warby Trail, near Leslie Street for a house fire. Police said that prior to their arrival, a neighbour hoisted a ladder alongside the home and rescued two children. A witness who identified himself as John told CTV News Toronto that two adults and two children were huddled on a small second floor balcony at the front of the home when the neighbour brought the ladder to them and let them climb down.
