Friday Field Trip, Civic Holiday, and Wednesday Assignment

IN CASE OF EXTREME WEATHER, CHECK THIS SPACE ON FRIDAY MORNING



Our field trip on August 3 is to the 11th Scarborough Ribfest, organized by the Rotary Club of Scarborough in support of Scarborough`s hospitals. This trip offers an opportunity to savour a classic summer tradition of not only Canada but also many parts of the United States. Admission is free. Besides the vast playground that is Thomson Memorial Park, the website lists the following

Features:

• Enjoy delicious ribs, hot dogs, french fries,
  corn on the cob and more...
• Midway rides, and skill testing games
• Karaoke competition everyday
• Creative designs by crafters and vendors
• All day beer garden

The "white house"

Let's meet there around 10:30 a.m. in front of the "haunted white house," the Scarborough Historical Museum, for a walking tour, followed by lunch (you can bring your own picnic food discreetly if you wish). Parking is free. The venue is accessible via Brimley TTC Bus 21, but alternative arrangements can be made in class ahead of time.

If you're purchasing your food there, please remember to bring cash.

Time permitting, we may be able to visit a cookie factory and a thrift store on the way back.

It is the CIVIC HOLIDAY on Monday. Please enjoy the long, long weekend and see you back in class, bright and early, on Tuesday at 9 a.m.
