1968 - Toronto City Council officially called the civic holiday �Simcoe Day� after Major-General John Graves Simcoe, who was appointed the first Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada on September 12th, 1791. He convened the first Legislative Assembly and established York (now Toronto) as the capital of the province. One of his crowning achievements was to begin the phasing out of slavery in Upper Canada, which officially ended in 1810 � 23 years before it was abolished in the British Empire and 55 years before the Emancipation Proclamation in the United States.

good one!

Brothers and sisters - PUMP UP THE VOLUME!!!

Happy John Graves Simcoe Day - much needed R&R day for the month of August!

WIKKID!

Aaaaahahahahahahahaha, I just watched fucking Dumb and Dumber too the other day, it was on the tele... haha, so old school, looked at the year, like 94 or something. Wow -- has really that much time gone by?!?!?! SHIT!

I remember I really used to enjoy Jim Carey -- his movies always were entertaining to us... we knew we'd be in for some dependable laughs at the threatre if it was a Jim Carey flick! Oh the good ole days!

My friends and I all went to the beach on the Civic holiday...our annual trip (well I guess you could call it that, since we went the same time last year). It was SO much fun...the weather was fantastic...we got a shitload of our friends to go...the water was amazing...and it's decently secluded, so while there were still some other ppl there...the beach patrol was not around!
Yea
