There will be a number of street closures in Riverside throughout the weekend. These street closures will feature an amazing line up of FREE music!

There will be temporary partial street closures at the following from Queen St E. to the laneway on the following streets:

• Lewis St.
• Saulter St.
• Boulton Ave.
• Degrassi St.
• McGee St. 
• Booth St. 

Anjuli is the Director of Community Programs at The STEPS Initiative, and the former Executive Director of the Riverside BIA, and helped implement many of the Riverside public art projects you will learn about and see on the tour.

The walk is free, however, registration is required due to limited spots. Let us know you’re coming! 

Attendees had the privilege of visiting 5 Riverside restaurants (Animal Liberation Kitchen, Good Karma, Eastbound Brewing Company, St John’s Bakery, and Wine Rack) and getting free samples at every location! 

Enjoy more photos of the walk on the blog!

The program consists of the business paying a one-time fee of $100 to join the Cigarette Recycling Program and the BIA will install and maintain a cigarette receptacle outside your business, which will be emptied regularly and sent for recycling through the Terracycle.

TerraCycle is a highly-awarded and globally recognized recycling company that develops zero waste solutions for difficult-to-recycle waste streams. To learn more about TerraCycle, the company that recycles them, click here.

To be part of the program, contact the BIA Office at office@riverside-to or 416-303-4484.
