Today in Toronto, it's the day before Canada day! It's also the day before Pride Toronto really kicks off. In addition to these two major cultural takeovers, there are also things for you to do if you like to sit, browse, or watch theatre in the middle of our city's largest downtown park.

I tried to check all the boxes for y'all this Thursday - have fun!
