June 4th: Rally by the West Island Fence
Don’t Fence Me In (Ontario Place version)
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
(Crowd) Don’t fence me in.
Let me swim through the wide open waters that I love,
(Crowd) Don’t fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze,
Listen to the murmur of the cedar trees,
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
(Crowd) Don’t fence me in.
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old paddle
Underneath Ontario skies.
On my paddleboard, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the pine trees rise.
I want to swim to the ridge where the west island commences
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
I can’t stand padlocks and I can’t stand fences
(Crowd) Don’t fence me in.
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old paddle
Underneath Ontario skies.
On my paddleboard, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the pine trees rise.
I want to swim to the ridge where the west island commences
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
I can’t stand padlocks and I can’t stand fences
(Crowd) Don’t fence me in.
(Crowd) Don’t fence me in.
(Crowd) Don’t fence me in. (Crowd) Don’t fence me in.

May 22: Ontario Place 50 + 2 Birthday Celebration & Rally
Check out a recording of our Ontario Place Birthday Rally! Thank you for making it such a success!
We would be honoured to have you join Ontario Place for All and Ontarians in a 50 + 2 anniversary celebration of Ontario Place on Monday May 22 (Victoria Day, May long weekend) from 1-4PM at Trillium Park.
We missed celebrating Ontario Place in person for its 50th birthday due to the pandemic, so this is a great opportunity to get together and celebrate its past, present and future! There will be speakers, music, activities for the entire family and more.
Look forward to celebrating with you!
