Toronto is waking up with a long weekend hangover, with reports of parks trashed and residents, especially those with kids and dogs, kept up for four straight nights by backyard fireworks displays.
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 people gathered on the beach watching fireworks as well as garbage strewn across the beaches Monday and Tuesday mornings.
