In my family, Saturdays were community days. My mom loved Saturday morning outings, and as children we looked forward to them.
After doing household chores, we would go on jaunts to various parks, beaches, the malls, Orfus Road (who remember shopping on Orfus Road in Toronto?), and attending yard sales. I in turn, did the same with my kids.
Yesterday’s community sale in Scarborough-Guildwood brought back fond memories of the beautiful times I shared with my mom, and the memories I still get to make with my own family. Time can never be replaced, but the beautiful memories will always live on.
What are some fond memories from your youth, and how do you plan to continue that legacy as a parent, or grandparent?
What are you doing to build community, whether in your immediate area, or surrounding environments?
