The 2009 Toronto St Patrick's Day Parade will be long remembered for the beautiful weather and massive attendance. A new spectator record was set on top of last year's record with an estimated 325,000 spectators enjoying sunny skies and +14C temperatures. There was also a great resurgence in participation by the Irish County Associations with 22 groups involved this year.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2009 Community Awards:

• County Tyrone - 1st Place Float
• County Antrim - 2nd Place Float
• County Mayo - 3rd Place Float
• County Down - Best Colour Party
