I remember this night, I was headed to downtown Toronto. Right at midnight ALL the traffic just stopped and everyone got out of their cars (not sure what street it was). People were hugging each other, walking around congratulating total strangers. I guess everyone was so tense from the negative build-up, they were just happy that nothing bad happened. It was a beautiful night.
4:42 When the flares started going off the CN Tower the crowd went wild because we didnt know it was coming. It lit up all of downtown amd when the midnight blast came it was bright all over just like noon for a second or so. Quite a scene
Forget Times Square. Watching Toronto’s New Year’s Eve party was even more fun. Sad that the bean-counters at Rogers Media stopped producing the NYE telecasts on City and decided to go for cheaper by simulcasting Seacrest with Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve...
I remember going downtown for the 1999-2000 New Years Eve celebration. Usually it was at Nathan Phillips Square, but that year, they held it on the lakefront, presumably because they wanted the space for the anticipated larger-than-usual crowds. I can't remember where exactly it was on the lake, although I think it was east of Yonge. I'm sure where it was is now taken up by condos or office buildings. (Could it have been where George Brown College and Corus are now?) Anyway, I rushed down there after working a New Years Eve shift at an LCBO in Mississauga (I was seasonal help), and I got there just in time for the fireworks and a march up Yonge Street, where people were wishing a happy 2000s. And Y2K? It never happened.
One of the greatest cities in the world even greater.... Yeah that’s true for early 2000s when the third world major countries were pretty weak. But Toronto don;t have that kind of energy as before right now

When Canada was the country I grew up in and a place I loved. RIP Canada 😢
I remember that year. The biggest new year ever. I'll never forget it. Brings back the Greatest memories ever. I'll never forget it. 😀
1999 was the last year where the world seemed somewhat normal... :(

We all thought 2000 was the Y2K apocalypse. Little did we realize our day of destruction wouldn’t come until September 11th, 2001.
