Month: September 2012

It’s the day after Labour Day, which means it’s back to school for the younger set. Welcome back to school, kids, and here’s hoping they don’t assign too much homework on day one.

It’s Labour Day, and I’ve already gotten a few messages from friends, asking if they’d like to catch up and wondering what’s open today. Here’s what’s happening in Toronto today, Labour Day 2012.
