Hey Torontonians,
CNE has just started, and funny enough nobody in my friend groups are talking about it anymore as it is overly priced haha, it feels like everyone is passively boycotting CNE. If you want to find something fun, going to blue mountain or wonderland might be a lot more fun!
Anyway, checkout what you can do next Monday (8/4) to Sunday (8/10) below! Hope you have a great weekend❣️ Missed out? Catch up with our previous newsletter here.
