The first weekend of fall is shaping up nicely in the 613. The leaves are turning, the apples are ripe, and things are starting to get spooky! Take in some cool walking tours, a cozy movie, some great shopping, or a soccer game and see where the city takes you.
The final weekend of August is upon us and, while summer might be winding down, there is still a lot to do around town to enjoy what is left of the season.
As you walk into the corner exhibition space on the Mezzanine level of the National Gallery of Canada, you are met with the words “THINGS WHICH ARE PER SE CONTINUOUS,” painted in bright blue above the corridor. It is these words, penned by late artist Lawrence Weiner, that echo throughout the newest exhibit at the gallery.
After a scorcher of a week, the weather is cooling off just in time to make this weekend bearable. There is plenty going on outdoors (and in), so take full advantage of the break in the heat and enjoy yourself.
It may not feel like it, with the weather still being generally chilly, but we have made it to May! Spring market season is upon us, and there are several of them happening this weekend, alongside a bunch of other fun things—so without further ado, we give you the Weekend Roundup!

It looks like we are in for a mild February weekend and it couldn’t be better timing, as there is a ton of fun stuff going on outdoors this weekend. There is also plenty happening inside, for you indoor cats, as well.
The countdown is on as we arrive upon the final weekend before the holidays. If you’ve managed to get your shopping done already (or even if you haven’t), there are lots of festive things to do about town that are plenty more fun than braving a mall in late December.
