“Union Station, the country’s busiest transit hub, is already a destination for thousands of commuters and visitors to Toronto every day,” said Mayor John Tory.
“And now for the holiday season, it becomes a destination for those looking for a bit of winter fun. Union Holiday will activate Front Street with the first ice rink ever created at the front door to our city.”
