In a city where passion and pride intertwine, Rob Ford’s love for Toronto shone brighter than the skyline itself. Today, on what would have been his 55th birthday, the city pays homage to this remarkable man by renaming Etobicoke’s Centennial Park Stadium in his honour. This gesture is a testament to Ford’s unwavering dedication to the city he called home and the people he served with unwavering commitment.
