April 30-May 6 (York)

April 29, 2026

Hey York 👋 I did something last weekend I haven't done since my daughter was born — I left my kids overnight. Twenty-four hours of uninterrupted conversation with my closest friends. On Sunday, I came home to a pile of laundry and have felt behind on work all week. Nevertheless, these getaways are a must. Sometimes you have to step away from the chaos just to remember how much you love it.

Mother's Day is next weekend, and York Region is making it easy to celebrate. Browse The Mom Market at Promenade Mall in Vaughan, pick up something special at the Aurora Art Show, or head to the Mother's Day Market at Sharon Museum and Gardens in East Gwillimbury. You deserve it.

Have the best week. 🧡

P.S. We've teamed up with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and are giving away tickets for 3 families to attend their next Young People's Concert on May 24th. Enter here — giveaway ends Monday, May 4! 🎶

Toronto Symphony Orchestra · Let's Dance! · May 24 at Roy Thomson Hall

From Swan Lake to Bruno Mars to Bernstein's "Mambo!" — the TSO's Let's Dance! is an hour of pure joy that takes kids on a musical journey across the world. Live dancers join the orchestra on stage, and the energy is infectious. This isn't sit-still-and-be-quiet classical music. It's the concert that makes kids ask when they can go again.

Arrive early to try instruments at the Discovery Zone, learn dance moves with Joy of Dance Centre, and catch lobby mini-performances before the show. Three show times mean you can pick what works for your family.

Sunday, May 24 · Roy Thomson Hall, Toronto
Shows at 11:00 AM*, 1:30 PM & 4:00 PM · Ages 4–10 (and young at heart)
