Toronto's cherry blossoms are in bloom and they're glorious. See them for yourself
Here's a selection of some of the most swoon-worthy sights captured by CBC photographers
Toronto's cherry blossoms are in bloom and they're a glorious sight for pandemic-weary eyes.
High Park, one of the city's most popular sites for blossom viewing, is open to visitors this year for the first time since 2019, after being closed during peak bloom in 2020 and the sakura trees fenced off in 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions.
For the past two years, the city has had a livestream with real-time footage of the blossoms. But while the Bloom Cam garnered hundreds of thousands of views over the past two years, there's nothing like seeing the blossoms in person.
Trinity Bellwoods Park, the University of Toronto's Robarts Library, Edwards Gardens, Toronto Island Park, York University and Woodbine Park are just some of the spots where you can take in the blossoms in all their splendour for yourself.
Here's a selection of some of the best blooms that CBC photographers captured:
