Growing up with Stop Spadina

A delightful memoir by Adam Vaughan is published in the current issue of eye magazine, about the fight his parents helped to lead against the Spadina Expressway in Toronto. There will be a celebration, hosted by Spacing magazine, of the day the Spadina was stopped, 35 years ago, with a reception on Friday, June 2 from 5 to 7 pam. at Historic Spadina House, 285 Spadina Road. Adam Vaughan’s parents, Colin and Annette, were among the leaders of that movement — and he writes about the struggle as seen through the eyes of a child along for the ride. (Now, of course, Adam Vaughan has resigned from his television job to run for the Trinity-Spadina seat at City Council, the same Council where his father Colin served.)
