Boys Of Major Lane

 On July 7, 2013 a laneway in the back of Major Street in downtown Toronto was the focus of attention as it was finally given a name.  Here my dad is seen walking through the laneway.  There were a number of boys who fought for Canada in WWII who lived in this area who grew up on Major Street.  This laneway is dedicated to them including my Uncle Solomon "Solly" Kay.
 Here I am under the covered street sign seen along Harbord Street near Major Street.
 Rory "Gus" Sinclair, the past-president of the Harbord Village Residents' Association is about to speak to the assembled crowd.
 The moment arrives as the unveiling of the name proceeds.
 Myself and Rory "Gus" Sinclair share the proud moment.
 My family attended the event on behalf of Solomon "Solly" Kay who was honoured with this laneway naming.
 Debbie and I posing with the street sign that will forever etch the boys into Toronto's history.
