Drive by the new "Meat Shop" on McGill Street (you'll know it when you see it), where they offer Hallowe'en scares to passers-by. Check out the menu of daily specials "Fresh from the butcher's block".
Riverview Park and Zoo is proud to announce a fundraising event in support of the Calgary Zoo’s 2 By 2 Rebuild the Zoo campaign. In June, Calgary Zoo suffered an estimated $50 million in damage due to a devastating flood when the Bow River overflowed its banks. The flood caused severe damage to most of the zoo and forced 34 animals out of their permanent exhibits. Within days after the flood, a call for help to CAZA (Canada’s Accredited Zoos and Aquariums) went out. Riverview Park and Zoo was selected to take Calgary’s two-toed sloths, Porsche and Ferrari.
“Sloth Mania” will be held on Saturday, October 19 from 11:00 am until 6:00 pm and will feature an afternoon schedule of special "Meet the Keeper" activities (including two sessions with the sloths), a barbeque, face painting, etc. There will also be raffles that include opportunities to win a behind-the-scenes tour of the Park and Zoo as well as an up close and personal feeding encounter with Porsche and Ferrari. Donate online at here.

Take a stroll down Bolivar Street and make your way to 476 where there you'll find Peterborough's first Little Free Library—a tiny library without due dates or returns. Part of a worldwide movement of other such libraries, you can take a book or donate a book—or both! The focus of the program is to promote a love of reading and community building. Maybe we can look forward to more popping up around other neighbourhoods in the city. So bring books there, take some, or just check it out!
