Move over Regina. Toronto has just nudged you out – by some 18,800 kilograms – for the title of world record holder in the amount of food donated by a city over 24 hours.
The new record of 119,068 kilograms was raised in one day by the Greater Toronto Apartment Association for the Toronto Daily Bread Food Bank, easily smashing the previous Guinness world record of 100,244 kilograms set two years ago by Regina.
"I've always said that Toronto is the greatest city in the world," Bonnie Hoy, co-ordinator of volunteers for the drive, told the cheering throng of some 100 people at the food bank's warehouse on New Toronto St., near Islington Ave., yesterday evening. "And the city just proved it all over again."
