Neither rain nor wind could dampen the spirits of the thousands of people who showed up at the Don Valley Brickworks for the third annual Brickworks Picnic on Sunday, October 4th. Hungry, culinary adventurous Torontonians queued up for delicacies done with a distinctly local touch. The locavore market was especially well represented with producers, chefs and wineries from across Southern Ontario taking part. The yearly foodie event is a benefit for Evergreen and Slow Food Toronto, both of which have been instrumental in raising awareness of food issues and in developing interest throughout the city for foodie culture.
