When the LoveTO sculpture arrived at The Horseshoe Tavern at 370 Queen St W, it was not really something you could miss. That’s because it’s a six-foot, three-dimensional heart that lights up each evening.

“As we look to rebuild our city, ShowLoveTO is our opportunity to show our love for the small businesses, restaurants and main streets that make our neighbourhoods so vibrant. The many programs that are part of this new initiative will provide residents the chance to experience their city in different ways and to participate in their local community.”– Mayor John Tory

It’s part of the City’s ShowLoveTO campaign which launched in October 2021. These big red hearts with #ShowLoveTO on them popped up all around Toronto. There is one of them in each of the city’s 24 wards in fact.

ShowLoveTO is also encouraging Torontonians to show their city some love by shopping and dining locally. They are also providing a number of free walks, both guided and self-guided, to help people explore Toronto’s neighbourhoods.

These free outdoor art installations will be available until at least December 14 to show love to Toronto.

Snap, tag and share a photo of yourself with the LoveTO heart using #ShowLoveTO before they’re gone!
