"Close ups of the Boom Times notice, the map and a poster for our Amalgamation Celebration at Humberside Collegiate Institute on May 1 between 6 and 11pm. We are inviting the Junction and the greater Toronto community to celebrate once again with us as to commemorate our joining the city of Toronto as an equal. There will be community booths with family games, a historical recreation of the original night, which was pretty hysterical in itself, the unveiling of the Community Spirit of the Junction, and dances from a hundred years of Canadian life. What was the event of 1909 is shaping up to be the event of 2009!"
