With the freezing cold temps we’ve been having in T.O., we know you may be looking for some indoor fun this weekend. Kids can go back in time, learning what it was like to be a Pioneer kid, or how winter’s work was done in an old-fashioned farmhouse. Caillou also makes an appearance on ice skates, and the whole family will love the music and warmth of a fundraising concert featuring Juno-award winner, Jen Gould.
