With Canada Day this weekend and the busy Summer Season ahead, a request to watch for the return of so many things we’ve missed over the last two years. From 4th Line and New Stages Theatre to Showplace and Market Hall, from Friday Night Art Crawls to live music, from events and festivals to pow wows, from markets and fairs to tourist attractions, bars, restaurants and retailers, and on and on. Let’s all go out of our way to support all of the local businesses who have been so badly hurt by the pandemic. Happy Canada Day, see you next week
