I expect traffic will be horrendous. I remember last year we were in Toronto during Gay Pride week (but not for Gay Pride week). Traffic was bumper to bumper at 11.30 at night.
Other than that I don’t think there should be much of a problem.

Well, you certainly can go. You can't go by train, of course. And you won't be able to do much in the heart of downtown. But you can still go.

If I were you, I would be questioning my sanity for wanting to go to Toronto at any time of the year.

Since I had already book my vacation during that time. Should I avoid Toronto until the G8/G20 is over but isn't the event outside of Toronto??
thanks
