Toronto Festivals & Events for This Weekend (Jun 6 - Jun 8)
Hey Torontonians,
Right now, over 17,000 people in Manitoba have been forced to leave their homes because of fast-moving wildfires. Many are staying in temporary shelters in Winnipeg and nearby towns, and a lot of them need help.
The Canadian Red Cross is collecting donations to support evacuees - everything from financial help and emergency supplies to longer-term recovery efforts. If you’re in a position to give, here’s where you can: give.redcross.ca/page/25MWA
We’re not sponsored or affiliated with them, just sharing this in case you want to support.
Anyway, checkout what you can do this Friday (6/6) to Sunday (6/8) below! Hope you have a great weekend❣️ Missed out? Catch up with our previous newsletter here.
