Today at Greensville Elementary School in Dundas, Filomena Tassi was on site to highlight the Government of Canada’s National School Food Policy. The Canada Border Services Agency has deployed a new, mobile x-ray scanning machine to the Greater Toronto Area as part of an effort to crack down on the soaring number of auto thefts. Village People, War and Crash Test Dummies? Oh my! They’re all coming to the Festival of Friends! We are starting to find out more about what to expect from Supercrawl 2024! Donald Sutherland, the New Brunswick-born acting legend has died. Olive oil is getting more expensive, and that is affecting restaurants. What is going on? We are joined by Sylvain “The Food Professor” Charlebois, who is currently in Spain, the home of olive oil!
