Raise a Flag fundraiser supports Sunnybrook’s Veterans Centre FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com The lawns in front of Sunnybrook Health Sciences’ Veterans Centre will be a sea of red and white Friday, Nov. 11 when some 30,000 miniature Canadian flags will be planted to mark Remembrance Day and to honour the vets for their

Bayview Village Association celebrates 60 years with gala On Sept. 27, 1956, three dozen households came together to discuss concerns common to urban life: traffic, the need for green space, and a need for community. From that meeting, the Bayview Village Association (BVA) was formed. Now in its 60th year, the BVA has marked the milestone with numerous events throughout the year, including a walking challenge
and speaker series, with a gala to top things off Friday, Nov. 4. The gala will be held at the Grand Luxe, 3125 Bayview Ave., south of Finch Avenue. A reception will begin at 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 7:30 p.m. The gala will also feature an 18-piece swing band and silent auction.
