Bella Ciao! is partnering with Reel Causes for the release, and a portion of ticket sales benefit Watari (a counselling and support service based in the DTES) and Casa Salvador Allende (an activist grassroots Chilean-Canadian organization based in Toronto).

Upintheair Theatre’s annual festival has transformed from Revolver into Evolver, and the curated lineup is the most unique pandemic-influenced extravaganza yet. The fest runs until Saturday (check out the full schedule here) and the last day kicks off with Yard Dances for Joy and Healing, a part-parenting, part-party livestream. Artist and dad Ben Gorodetsky describes it as a mix of “movement, storytelling, improvisation, multi-camera feeds, and pure toddler chaos.” Tune in to see his two-year-old son dance your worries away.

With all large-scale rides canceled due to COVID-19, RBC is inspiring cyclists to keep pedaling with free bike training programs. City, suburban, and stationary bikers alike can sign up for a series of 12-week programs (without the regular $275 entry fee) at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. The goal would traditionally be to train for the real-life RBC GranFondo, but this year we’re doing it for bragging rights.
