These are all the streetcar route diversions during TIFF

With the 44th-edition of the Toronto International Film Festival just weeks away, the city has announced a series of streetcar diversions during the festivities.

From Thursday, September, 5 until Monday, September 8, TIFF is holding its sixth annual Festival Street initiative, a free pop-up street festival with music, screenings, and activations that will result in some transit detours.
