The iconic TORONTO sign at Nathan Phillips Square is being replaced because they are showing significant wear and tear.
The sign was erected in 2015 as a temporary installation for the Pan American and Parapan American Games. It has become a top destination for pictures ever since. Tourism Toronto said its visitor survey found the sign was one of the top three most visited destinations in the city.
Not to worry, bids are now being taken to build a more stable permanent TORONTO sign, and they hope to have it in place before the end of the year.
A six-year-old girl in Arkansas sent a letter to a bunch of toy companies, because a set of little green “Army men” she got didn’t have any women.
She said her friend’s mom was in the Army. So she didn’t get why all the toys were men. And if they made ones that looked like women, she’d play with them every day.
And one of the toy companies that got her letter actually listened.
A small toy company in Scranton, Pennsylvania called BMC Toys has designed some female Army toys. And he’s going to release a whole set of them.They’ll be out next year, just in time for Christmas.
