Disappointed that High Park is closed to visitors this year while the cherry trees are in bloom? No need to worry: the city has multiple virtual cherry blossom experiences planned so that you can enjoy the view from home. There’s even a 24-hour BloomCam so that you can check in on the blossoming trees any time!
Need an excuse to eat more fries? Here’s one for you: apparently, more than 200 million pounds of potatoes from Canadian farmers are at risk of going to waste due to COVID-19 restaurant closures. Time to support local farmers and order up, everyone!
Here’s some great news for the environment: Sweden has closed its last coal-fired power station two years ahead of schedule. This is a huge clean energy milestone for Sweden, as they continue to work towards a system based entirely on recycled and renewable energy. Hopefully one day we’ll all get there!
