Made in Canada: Behind-the-Scenes Tour of Trinity Bellwoods Businesses

Date: Saturday, May 5th, 2 to 4 pm

The Trinity Bellwoods BIA, along Dundas from Grace to Bathurst Street, has a strong mix of new and established owner-operated businesses. Learn about the history, the neighbourhood’s Portuguese roots, and the influx of businesses that produce their products in-house.

We visited studios that make everything in-house: Comrags, a women’s clothier, Fredrick Prince, a jewellery maker, Bookhou, a collaboration studio, Hide, a leather-maker, Odile Chocolat, a chocolatier, and The Six Brewing Co., the newest microbrewery on Dundas St West.

This walk explored the studio spaces, learned about the cost of producing in Canada, and had a chance to see the behind-the-scenes chains of production.

2018 Toronto 420

For those in the marijuana culture, “4/20” is the highest holiday.

For close to 40 years, April 20 — the 20th day of the fourth month– has been the day to celebrate all things marijuana and to call for loosening of what many say are outdated laws that ban the substance.

Toronto’s annual 420 event was held at Nathan Phillips Square in front of City Hall for 2018.

There’s no live music, no speakers and no vendors as there was for the past 11 years at Yonge-Dundas Square because this year’s 420 event was denied an event permit.
