Friends and Neighbors, our local arts park has been selected to launch the upcoming season of #ArtsInTheParksTO. There will be drumming, circus, face painting and more. Lee Lifeson is just behind (east) of Empress Walk shopping centre off Doris Ave.

Hey #Willowdale, bring your day old Jack O' Lanterns to @GibsonMuseumTO tonight for the local #PumpkinParade ! Don't worry about the wet weather, you can go in the museum for some family fun and stay dry.
Show those downtowners that we've got spirit N of the 401 too!

This year we're sending people interested in the #pumpkinparades across the street to @GibsonMuseumTO . Join them for their Pumpkin Party 6pm-8pm Nov 1 (the day after #Halloween) - Bring your Jack O'Lantern!

A day hasn't gone by this week that I haven't seen a #Monarch in the 'hood! A #Butterflyway can happen with the right habitat anywhere, and it is easy to do! Please help the tiny creatures! https://t.co/vihE7sPSEE #GotMilkweed
