TORONTO, April 28 /CNW/ - After months of heavy snowfall, salt build-up and winter grime, Canadian Tire invites Torontonians to an outdoor spring cleaning spectacle happening at Yonge & Dundas Square. To inspire and motivate Torontonians to get started on their own spring clean-ups, local graffiti artist Patrick Thompson will demonstrate how to tackle the toughest winter grime as he creates a visual masterpiece using nothing but the latest Karcher pressure washer. Witness art being created from just dirt and water on enormous eight-by-12 foot structures built out of house siding and wood fencing.
Local consumers are invited to join in the excitement too. Torontonians will have a chance to test out the hottest outdoor cleaning tool this season and try their hand at pressure washer art to help create a giant collective piece that will be unveiled between 12:30 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.
