TWO MORE CORPORATE SPONSORS HAVE ABANDONED PRIDE TORONTO |
With less than a month before the festival, Home Depot and Google are the latest corporate sponsors to leave Pride Toronto in the lurch. This comes after Nissan Canada, Adidas and the Abnormal Beauty Company jumped ship (or artfully festooned float) from North America’s largest Pride celebration back in February. Now—at least in the US—anti-wokeness is in; diversity, equity and inclusion are out. |
Home Game: Toronto Loves Basketball, a new exhibition from the Museum of Toronto, is a full-court tribute to the sport’s deep roots and soaring influence across the city. More than just a Raptors highlight reel, the installation showcases the game’s evolution from local courts to global fame—plus some sweet Shai Gilgeous-Alexander swag. |
