Union Station & Surroundings View at Toronto in Canada
History of Union Station:
---------------------------
The current building opened its doors in 1927, although its history dates back to 1858 with the debut of the first of three stations. The Union Station we know today was designed in the Ãcole des Beaux-Arts style by a team of architects from the Montreal Firm of G.A. Ross and R.H.
Construction on this iconic landmark began in 1914 amidst a materials shortage during World War I, but the station didnât officially open until 1927. Since then, Union Station has welcomed waves of immigrants to Toronto, survived a major fire, and endured more than 90 years of wear and tear.
In 1975, Parks Canada designated Union Station a National Historic Site because it was, and still is, the countryâs finest example of a classical beaux-arts railway station. Union Station is the largest of the great urban train stations built during the early 20th century.
Since acquiring Union Station in 2000, the City continues to own, manage and improve the station and is currently leading a multi-year revitalization that will make Union Station, one of Torontoâs crown jewels, spectacular again.
Thank You.

Cherry Blossom (Sakura) at High Park in Toronto, Canada
Cherry Blossom (Sakura) at High Park in Toronto, Canada
Cherry blossom trees are located in parks and other locations throughout Toronto. Take part in the centuries-old tradition of hanami, the Japanese term for flower viewing. Called sakura in Japan, these cherry blossom trees bloom at the end of April to early May. as they share the stages of the bloom in High Park.
History & Horticulture of Cherry Blossoms in High Park and Toronto:
Sakura (cherry blossoms) have a long history in High Park and Toronto, and an even longer history in Japan!
High Park was not always home to the thousands of Sakura trees we see today. The trees that have been planted throughout the park and the city of Toronto hold a unique history. The Japanese Canadian community has played an important role in creating spaces for Sakura to thrive.
The first trees were planted in 1959, an event made possible by the tremendous efforts of issei (first-generation) Japanese Canadian leaders and community members. The Sakura planting campaign was formed by Consulate-General Yoshida, who invited community leaders to fundraise $20,000 with the vision of building a âJapanese gardenâ in a public park in Toronto. The Nikkei (Japanese diaspora) community was small at the time and faced discrimination in post-war Toronto. This was a âdream-come-trueâ project for the community.
The fundraising was successful, and in April 1959, the Japanese ambassador to Canada, Toru-Hagiwara, presented 2000 Somei-Yoshino sakura trees to Toronto citizens on behalf of Tokyo citizens. The trees were planted in appreciation of Toronto accepting re-located Japanese-Canadians following the Second World War. Many of the trees were planted in High Park, on the hillside overlooking Grenadier Pond (southwest of the Grenadier CafÊ) and around the east shore of the pond.
Thank You.

đ¤ī¸đī¸ Summer Activities in Canada:
------------------------------------
The summer season runs from June to August, which is undoubtedly the best time to visit Toronto. During this period, Toronto sees temperatures in the mid to upper 20s and plenty of daylight hours.
There are usually many types of entertainment throughout the summer in Canada. Everyone organizes various cultural events, including barbeque parties, in different tourist places with their families or friends.
Along with the sea or lake shore and the green nature, when the favorite songs are played on the electric sound box, food, drinks, dance, etc., it becomes an amazing entertainment environment.
đ¤ Song Lyrics:
----------------
I got this weight on my shoulder it's slowing me down
I don't know how it came about
And while the world is spinnin' faster every night
I feel I'm stuck in reverse somehow
But it ain't no one's fault that I am stuck here
No one to blame this on, feeling so hopeless
I keep on pouring salt on my wounds when I shouldn't stay
I feel the pressure on me
How it's itching under my own skin
It's getting real hard to breathe
I gotta move on, gotta move on right now
I feel the pressure
A force of habit to point out another mistake
But two wrongs don't make one right
I gotta pull it together before it's too late
An hourglass in my mind a lie
I know it's all my fault that I am stuck here
No one to blame this on, feeling so hopeless
I gotta find the way before it disappears
I cannot stay
I feel the pressure on me
How it's itching under my own skin
It's getting real hard to breathe
I gotta move on, gotta move on right now
I feel the pressure
Uhuuuuu
When did I get so blind?
I didn't see this coming
Uhuuuuu
I should've heard faith calling...
Trying to pull me out
But how do I get out?
How do I get out?
I feel t

LYRICS of Video's Song:
-------------------------------------
Wish that I could stay in this moment forever
so I can hold you in my arms
I will carry you on my shoulders as long as Iâm able
and always put you first (alt. until you outgrow my lap)
A deep and abiding
liking for you is all I need
And until my heart gives in
I will do everything I can for you
You will grow up in a blink of an eye and move out
and be on your own
but no matter what comes your way I will stay right beside you
to catch you if you fall
A deep and abiding
liking for you is all I need
And until my heart gives in
I will do everything I can for you
Thank You All.
