Toronto police estimate thousands gathered at Woodbine and Cherry beaches on Sunday night, shooting off fireworks for Victoria Day.
Const. Ed Parks said police received several calls about the gatherings and some people were issued tickets, but it is unclear how many.
Posts on social media show show people gathered on the beach watching fireworks as well as garbage strewn across the beaches Monday morning. Area residents were also seen cleaning up the garbage left behind by visitors.
@JohnTory This was Woodbine Beach last night. Any reason why a) there was little to no police presence? b) if we’re in lockdown/stay at home why is there so many being allowed to party like there’s no pandemic? I’ve not been home since March 2020 just so others can have fun. pic.twitter.com/92N2WxwFqY

Const. Parks said dedicated enforcement teams will be out in the city Monday to educate people and enforce gathering limits.
Ontario continues to be under a stay-at-home order and outdoor gatherings are currently limited to five people.
