Block party on Blackburn sizzles

Proof that Sandy Hill is a great family neighbourhood – the annual Blackburn Avenue block party, between Somerset and Osgoode, was a big success this past May 26. The children had a great time playing in the closed-off street, and adults gathered around a shared buffet while waiting for a special treat this year: spit roasted lamb! — Christine Aubry
