We’re gathering people now for our annual Cabbagetown Festival parade. It happens on Saturday, September 6. Please call us to share your plans for this year’s edition. It’s a unique occasion when Cabbagetown’s finest strut their stuff and all of us get together to launch our Festival weekend. Call Marianne at (416) 921-0857.
New business hours
The Beer Stores at 534 Parliament and at 227 Gerrard are both opening for extended hours from 11 am to 6 pm on Sundays. Thirsty people everywhere are grateful. 
The CIBC at 245 Carlton has extended banking hours: on Thursday and Friday, the branch is open until 7 pm and on Saturday, it opens from 9:30 am to 4 pm. These hours are definitely much more convenient for Cabbagetown customers.
