The Weekend To-Do: We’re hitting Worn Journal’s Black Cat Ball, Moon’s pop-up store, Edmonton’s art shmooze and more
If Black Friday deals didn’t give you your shopping fill today, never fear—this weekend marks the beginning of craft-show season across Canada, the best time to pick up unique and local gifts all in one place. We’ve also sourced the perfect romantic afternoon in Vancouver, an end-of-days party in Edmonton and a valid excuse to wear cat ears in Toronto.
