Stars at Wintersong Music Festival

I had one of my favourite experiences ever seeing my favourite band perform last night. Stars were the headliners this year for Wintersong, a free music festival north of Toronto in Stouffville.

  • Watching Rugby in Toronto

    What happened to the Toronto Wolfpack? It’s been awhile since rugby fans have been able to enjoy a Wolfpack game in Toronto at Lamport Stadium.

  • Revolver Pizza in Mimico

    Just before the pandemic lockdowns started back in March 2020, a new pizza place opened on Royal York Road right by San Remo Bakery, south of Evans.
