Eric and Catherine are two of our favourite local artists. He’s taken hundreds of our photos, documenting Cabbagetown life over the past seven years.

The show starts on May 1 and runs to May 31.
Congratulations
Kendall & Co are regular contributors to our Newsletter. We’re amazed at their speedy and extraordinary transformation of their new building at 227 Carlton. It was a very wrenching experience for everyone – they had to clear out their Winchester store, clean up and design Carlton Street and then move all of their stuff. They made it all look effortless.
