Spring bursts into Toronto with cherry blossoms

STORY: Footage shows visitors taking photographs and walking in High Park, home to thousands of cherry blossom trees.

Visitor Trang Pham said she felt “great” because it was the first time her baby had seen cherry blossoms, and that she enjoyed immersing herself in nature surrounded by them.

Like their famous counterparts in Washington, D.C., the cherry blossom trees were a gift from Japan to the city of Toronto. In 1959, the Japanese government shipped 2,000 trees to Toronto.
