   Don Brownridge, co-ordinator for the Toronto Kite Flying Club explained the idea was conceived by his in-laws, with the Club meeting originally at Sandbanks Provincial Park.
   ...
   Brownridge was also in Hong Kong last year, and another couple flying at Presqu'ile last weekend have taken their kites to Bangkok and Malaysia.
   
   Sunday offered nice winds at the beach, so many kites were pulled in and "staked off." And few of these kites are your garden variety item.
   
   The largest kite flown on Sunday measured 88 feet long, and boasted a width of 17 feet. Brownridge said an even larger kite had flown there on Saturday.
   
   According to Don, the fun part about kites is that there are so many areas that you can get involved in, and he gets involved in all of them.
   
   Traction kite flying is growing in popularity. This idea centres on buggies ranging in size from that of a skateboard, to almost dune buggy size, to which various sized foils are attached.
   ...
   Since then, Don has made his own kites, including the one that went to Hong Kong with him. On Sunday, that kite was flying over the beaches of Presqu'ile.
   
   It's focal point was the Canadian flag set in a rectangular design of red, black and white. It is a striking sight in the bright blue sky.
   
   Brownridge was surprised to find that sewing kites is satisfying, and that kites themselves are extremely pleasurable. It's like leaning on the sky, he said.
   
   Kite Fest 2002 takes place next weekend in Milliken District Park, at the corner of McCowan Road and Steeles Avenue in Scarborough.
