As the city filed it
Bastille Day in Toronto is a festive opportunity for the City to come together with our formidable and proud French community to celebrate France's national day. Bastille Day is about liberty, equality and fraternity. It is also a time for us to take stock of the extraordinary contributions the French community has made to Toronto in all facets of society, including our economic prosperity. Through a Bastille Day commemorative street sign partnership with the France Canada Chamber of Commerce, the City of Toronto can formally recognize our enduring bonds with France.
