Feb 19-25 (Peel)

Good morning, Peel Parents. I hope you enjoyed that spring teaser yesterday—as I write this at 6 AM, I'm anxiously refreshing for school closure announcements. So much for spring! This week marks the final days of the Winter Olympics. Canada's medal count sits at 12 (3 gold, 4 silver, 5 bronze), and Friday brings an Olympic watch party at Mississauga Library. Square One's Black History Month Market continues through Sunday. Saturday features Sports Day in Brampton, the Lunar New Year Spectacular at Meadowvale Theatre, and a snowshoeing adventure in Caledon. Stay cozy!
