After a detailed study of these 4 neighbourhoods, I now have my colouring books ready for the World of Toronto !
Each book is based on a mandala theme, with each page having 2 letters of the alphabet depicting the history and present day events beginning with those letters.
On the opposite page of each of those pages is a poem I have written about some of the pictures and events.
At the end of each book are suggested follow-up activities.
These books are available now.
( I am now working on 4 more Neighbourhoods of Toronto Colouring Books ! )

Willowdale Mandala Completed !
I have completed my Willowdale Mandala and it is now available.
It goes from York Mills up to Markham ( past the Willowdale border of Steeles ). And so it also includes Thornhill and Richmond Hill.
From the West it goes from Bathurst over to Bayview.
Heritage buildings are included, such as Gibson House, Heintzman House, and C.W. Jeffries' Home. Many more have been depicted, as well as our present day happenings are represented.
Mills dot the whole Mandala and Indigenous icons appear throughout.
I have also completed the Bloor/Spadina/Mink Mile to the Prince Edward Viaduct mandala.
THIS Mandala has a Music-on-Bloor theme which revives memories of the discos of '60's Yorkville and The Toronto Rock 'n Roll Revival at Varsity Stadium in August 1969 ( which I attended ) as 2 examples.
Stollery's, the University and Uptown Theatres and the Golden Nugget Tavern are noted memories from the past.
The last 2 Mandalas bring my total Toronto Neighbourhood Mandalas to 41 + 1 New York City Mandala!
