Why did Amazing ice sculptures mysteriously show up all over downtown Toronto.

Ice Sculptures started to show up mysteriously on the sidewalks of downtown Toronto. We explore the reasons behind this all the while enjoying the differents ice sculptures of different iconic buildings and places.

The Bloor Yorkville Icefest is an annual event held each year in the Toronto downtown area. It is as good as it gets concerning ice fests in the Toronto area. Usually held every year in February the pandemic changed the way it was held this year by being held a month later than usual. This year all the ice sculptures were distributed along different roads in of the downtown area to maintain social distancing regulations. This gave the ice festival an easter egg hunt dimension to it, this year as people followed a map looking for the different sculptures in different locations creating a bit of much needed fun for the residents of Toronto.
