September 22nd is the 266th day of the year. There are 100 days remaining until the end of the year.

The Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit reported no new COVID19 cases yesterday. There hasn’t been a positive case locally in the last 9 days. There are 2 active cases. No one is hospitalized.

Ontario reported 425 cases across the province. 67% of the cases are in people under the age of 40.

Fall officially arrives in the Northern Hemisphere at 9:31 this morning.

It’s the day when the sun crosses the equator heading south. The fall equinox provides Earth with roughly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness.

The new Toronto sign is in place.

The sign orignally installed as a temporary display for the 2015 Pan-Am games was removed two weeks ago and replaced with a permanent display.

The sign contains a vinyl wrap, which is an art project entitled Patterns of the People, in recognition of the United Nations International Decade for People of African Descent. The wrap will be refreshed once every 12 months, and will be used to promote events, projects and City priorities.

This new installation also has better lighting capabilities and is more durable than the original. The sign was lit up gold last night after the outstanding Emmy night for Canadian show Schitt’s Creek.

It’s located at Nathan Phillips Square.

Nearly three years after Gord Downie’s death, a new double album of solo material will be released next month.

Away is Mine is a 20-track collection of the Tragically Hip’s lead singer’s final solo recording.

The project was laid down at the Hip’s studio in Bath, Ontario, in July 2017, three months before Downie died from glioblastoma, an incurable and rare form of brain cancer.

Away is mine will be available everywhere October 16th.

Gucci is selling pairs of denim overalls for $1,400 and the overalls come with grass stains.

Yes, they’re pre-stained.

But they aren’t even stained with actual grass. Gucci is just using a special treatment to make it look that way.

Imagine being so rich, you paid to make it look like you worked?!
