On Saturday May 28th, the Live in TO Real Estate Team hosted the annual “Yard Sale for the Cure” at Brian Ross’ house by Withrow Park. The one-day yard sale was in support of breast cancer.
Our clients, neighbours and friends kindly donated secondhand items which they no longer used or needed, to help us raise funds for breast cancer awareness, research and education. In most cases, we picked up the items from the donors.

Hidden on the East side of the city, nestled between Queen and Richmond, lies a café named after the street it is on. This local favourite, located at 141 Berkeley Street, serves up delicious salads, quiche, sandwiches, pasta and baked goods.

It’s a great hideaway from the bustling city, and no wonder, at 21 acres, this public space is equipped with an ice rink, tennis courts, soccer field, baseball diamond, it’s a playground for many dogs in the neighbourhood and from Carlaw Avenue the park has great views of the city’s skyline.
