Welcome to peak schoolyard chaos. The kids are dragging us into June with one foot in flip-flops and the other still in a snow boot they refused to give up. 🥾

This week's scoop has a brand-new community hub flinging open its doors in Oakville, a sing-along morning at the petting zoo, a K-Pop Demon Hunters workshop, and some PA Day picks for next Friday. Let's go.

Note: This is your HALTON Edition. Reply YORK to switch to York & Vaughan Edition. Or BOTH to get both editions.
