Mexicans celebrate El Grito in the heart of Toronto

The growing Mexican community in Toronto gathered at Nathan Phillips Square, the main plaza in this city, to commemorate the 208th anniversary of Mexico's Independence.

From recently arrived Mexican immigrants to established families with children born in Canada, dressed in traditional costumes and proudly carrying the Mexican flag, they met in the plaza, where they tasted traditional dishes such as tacos, toasts, tamales, churros, and paletas of fruits . . .
