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. They are always brilliant and last night seemed extra special. The venue was small, and it felt like we were dancing with them at a party

  • 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.
