Dear reader, As you may know, Canadian media is under attack. As a negotiating tactic in response to Bill C-18, the Online News Act, many large social media platforms are banning Canadian news content from their followers’ feeds. That means you may not see the Toronto Life content you’re used to reading.

The proposed Picnic Day would be a chance for Torontonians to spend time in public green spaces—and a boon for local food and bottle shops still feeling the pandemic pinch. |
