On June 21, 2026, twenty Toronto Camera Club members and their guests converged on Biidaasige Park for the First Day of Spring and Fathers Day.
Biidaasige Park is located on Ookwemin Minising Island in Toronto’s Port Lands. It was designed by a team of landscape architects, to revitalize the waterfront and protect the mouth of the Don River from flooding. The extensive walking trails offer views of Toronto’s skyline, interactions with wildlife and birds, and viewing of contemporary art installations.
Club members had opportunities to photograph the bridges over the Don River, native plantlife, birds (such as red-winged blackbirds and a pair of egrets), sculptures, and the Toronto skyline.
After making our way through the park, Club members walked to Polson Pier at the end of Polson Street. This spot provides a classic view of the Toronto skyline. With the clouds continuing to obscure the setting sun, most participants opted to head home. One Club member—Scott Bennett—decided to wait. His persistence paid off, with him capturing a colourful photo of the skyline at sunset.
