June 11-17 (Peel)

June 10, 2026

I fell for it again.

The arrival fallacy — the quiet belief that once your child hits the next milestone, everything gets easier. Once she sleeps through the night. Once he's potty trained. Once it's summer. Once she starts walking.

Well, my youngest took her first steps this week. And I have never run so fast in a parking lot in my life.

The truth is, it's all hard. Every stage trades one hard for a new hard. And if you're a parent of older kids reading this, you're probably nodding. The best we can do is remind ourselves it's a phase and find joy in the chaos.

So let's talk about the joy — because there's a lot of it this week.

The FIFA World Cup kicks off tomorrow and runs through July 19, with Canada co-hosting alongside the United States and Mexico. Canada opens against Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 12 at 3:00 PM, and faces Qatar on June 18 at 6:00 PM. Ontario bars and restaurants have extended last call to 4:00 AM for the duration of the tournament.

I'll be featuring free, family-friendly World Cup events every week alongside our usual summer lineup of festivals, splash pads and everything in between.
