Canada turns 141 today, and I’d just like to wish this great nation a happy birthday! The weather was beautiful today, but I haven’t got the chance to go outside yet. I think I’m getting used to being indoors since I basically had a 5-day weekend. I should be going to watch some fireworks tonight though.
If you want to see the skies light up and are looking for a place in the GTA to watch them from try Ashbridges Bay, Canada’s Wonderland, Ontario Place, Milliken Park, Downsview Park or Mel Lastman’s Square.

CHIN International Picnic
This annual event continues all weekend until July 2nd. Sunday will have some great festivities including a veal-eating contest (too bad I’m on a diet), Mr. Chin Binkini event (maybe I should make my way down there….), and a karaoke contest. The evening ends with the Festival of Fire.
