On the agenda

As the city filed it

After 24 years, this Toronto Raptors team has made NBA history by clinching our first championship win. This historic playoff run galvanized and united not only Toronto, but all of Canada, bringing together fans from coast to coast to coast. The victory itself and the events surrounding it will inspire Torontonians, especially young people, for years to come. Throughout this season and the playoffs, the fans have proven they are the best in the NBA and tireless in their support of the Raptors.

We saw that support shine in Jurassic Park outside the Scotiabank Arena. We want to honour the Raptors and their fans with a ceremonial dedication of Bremner Boulevard from York Street to Lakeshore Boulevard West as Raptors Way. This will recognize this first historic championship and show the City's sincere appreciation to the team.
