The Sakura Project
The Sakura Project was started in the year 2000 with the objective of planting 3000 Japanese flowering cherry (Sakura) trees in Ontario as a symbol of Japan-Canada friendship. By the time the project came to an end in the autumn of 2012, 3,082 trees had been planted at 58 locations across Ontario. One of the locations was the St. George campus of the University of Toronto. Here, at the corner of Harbord and Huron streets, 70 trees were planted in 2005.
Today, 4 May, the trees were in full bloom. Perfect. (Well, almost perfect – a little blue sky instead of the cloud cover would have been an added bonus)
