On the 100th anniversary of Amalgamation -- amid music, dancing, and cabaret-style comedy -- Mayor David Miller will accept the Key to the Junction to mark the historic date when the City of West Toronto Junction joined the City of Toronto as an equal partner. The May 1st celebration will be a recreation of a similar countdown in 1909 when reportedly thousands of Junction residents gathered to mark this important municipal amalgamation with various festivities and "squeals of delight".
