The Village Butcher will soon open a small community restaurant in the heart of Etobicoke.
The grand opening to the public for their new organic breakfast bar, Around The Corner, will be held at 6 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 25.
You'll freak out when you see what's in store! Not only is every thing at Around The Corner organic, from the juices, milk, and coffee to all the seasoning and fruits and meats, but it will also be 100% gluten- and nut-free!
The menu includes gluten-free flapjacks, gluten-free french toast, and everything else you can think of!
Healthy and organic is the theme in this beautiful and very relaxed setting. The patio will hopefully be finished on time, and the breakfast bar will have designated parking for strollers. Around the Corner will be geared towards offering great food for families to come and enjoy.
The new breakfast bar will be located at 132-6th Street, just “around the corner” from The Village Butcher.
The Village Butcher is located at 2914 Lakeshore Blvd. W. (near Islington Avenue) in Etobicoke. For more information, call 416-503-9555 or visit www.thevillagebutcher.ca. |

 May the light never fail.
In 2010, Port Credit will celebrate its 175th birthday with a year-long celebration, featuring exciting events for all ages.
Built in 1835 as a trading and fishing center at the mouth of the Credit River, the “village by the lake” has been a central hub for business and tourism in Mississauga.
The anniversary is chance to commemorate the village's past, present and future, said Lydia Ordonez-Niles, the chair of the organizing committee. The whole community has come together to make this year’s festivities a reality.
“We have so much community spirit here in the village,” said Ordonez-Niles. “When you’re planning a massive year-long celebration like this, people are thrilled to be a part of the experience.”
Some of the planned events happening this year include exhibits and presentations on P.C.’s past by local historians, several city-wide contests, an anniversary celebration day that will be held on July 1 and a time capsule that will be buried at the end of the year at the Memorial Arena, to be unearthed in 2035.
The festivities kicked off on January 9 with an old-fashioned pond hockey tournament at the outdoor skating rink in Memorial Park. Teams wearing retro-style “P.C. 175” jerseys took to the ice and competed in a series of thrilling, fast-paced matches.
P.C. Memorial Arena will also hold its final two public skates before it closes for renovations on Friday, March 12 from 7:15 to 8:45 p.m. and Sunday, March 14 from 1:30 to 3 p.m.
The anniversary celebrations will enrich the community and make people more aware of what Port Credit has to offer, said Ordonez-Niles. “2010 will be a very memorable year,” she said.

 The Producers, the winningest Broadway musical in history, comes to the Burnhamthorpe Auditorium in April and May for a limited run of shows!
In the play, a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers out of millions.
One thing goes awry, though: the show is a smash hit!
With a truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (Annie) and music and lyrics by Brooks, The Producers skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an “equal opportunity offender”!
Four evening shows will be held on April 23, 24, 30 and May 1 and 7 at 8 p.m. Matinees will also be held on April 25 and May 2 and 8 at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $24 ($21 for groups of 10+ people) and $18 for youths.
The Burnhamthorpe Auditorium is located at 500 The East Mall in Etobicoke (north of Burnhamthorpe Rd. at Hwy. 427).
For tickets, call 416-248-0410 or visit www.e-m-p.net. |
