Make sure to stop by the Bloor-Yorkville neighbourhood Saturday, February 20 &amp; Sunday, February 21 from 12\u20135 pm to celebrate and watch a showcase of incredible ice sculptures and live ice carving demonstrations. This is also a family friendly event, as there are &#8220;ice kiddie cubes&#8221; with toys inside for children. All proceeds from this event go the Heart and Stroke Foundation, so spend an afternoon enjoying the neighbourhood and embracing winter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/2-4-2016-1-37-57-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3334 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/goday.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/2-4-2016-1-37-57-PM-300x149.png\" alt=\"Icefest 2016\" width=\"300\" height=\"149\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photograph via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloor-yorkville.com\/icefest\/\">Icefest<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.torontopubliclibrary.ca\/\">Toronto Public Library<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Who knew that the library had more to offer than books?
