Opposite Christie Pits park, on the south side of Bloor, sits the Bickford Centre. Other than the fact that it occupies a prime piece of real estate and is a hotspot for skateboarding kids, I didn't know much about it. So I looked it up.
Turns out it's used mostly for adult English-language instruction. There is a movement afoot to bring " the Christie Pits community together with the students/staff at Bickford Centre."
I'm all for togetherness. If you are, too, you might want to attend the first ever Bickford Springfest May 27th.
Or, if you're so inclined, you can rent a booth during the event.
