Someone in a Grinch suit surprised a number of Toronto residents this weekend
Many Toronto residents were surprised to see that The Grinch had ventured down from Mount Crumpit this weekend to pay the city a visit.
On Nov. 19, a number of Toronto residents reported coming across someone who appeared to be wearing a very realistic Grinch costume in the west end.
Gina Stoneham said she spotted the character at the Baby Point Gates ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ event held on Saturday afternoon.
“He was so funny and your typical Grinch,” Stoneham told CTV News Toronto Wednesday.
She said she waited her turn until local children were done interacting with him to get a photo for herself.

Toronto resident Stephanie Rose also spotted the Grinch Saturday at Jane Street and Annette Avenue, not far from where Stoneham saw him, while she was driving.
“Everyone was loving it,” Rose told CTV News Toronto “They were honking and waving at the Grinch. Just laughing and smiling in general.”

It would appear the Grinch is frequenting the Baby Point neighbourhood. The Baby Point Gates BIA also posted to Instagram Saturday that he was spotted at Moonbeam Books on Jane Street.
Of the interaction, Stoneham says it “made her day.”
“It was hilarious.”
