It’s safe to say that event season is fully upon us—and we’re not mad about it. Between the spring concerts, culinary events, fireside chats and other functions happening across the city, it’s time to fill up your social calendar. This month’s exclusive event listing includes an opportunity to win two tickets to an immersive theatrical dance experience at the Great Hall. Read on for details and to see the rest of what TL Insiders can look forward to in April.
Maclean’s x Petro-Canada: Virtual Fireside Chat Join moderator Jason Maghanoy and speaker Sara Cappe for an online discussion about Phase 2 of the Live by the Leaf Index. A recent study by Petro-Canada revealed that amid ongoing tension with the United States, 94 per cent of Canadians across regions, genders and income levels feel that it’s critical to buy Canadian. So what does this increasingly strong sense of national pride and responsibility mean? Wednesday, April 2, 12 to 1 p.m.
CONTEST: Win tickets to Ophis by TranscenDance Project A performance unlike any other, Ophis (Greek for “serpent”) is an interactive, immersive production from a Toronto-based dance company. Guests will be given masks to wear as they explore different spaces across the four-level venue. This bold theatrical performance touches on themes of love, transformation and self-discovery while sharing the mythology of Medusa. Two lucky TL Insiders will win a pair of tickets! April 4 to 13, The Great Hall
