It’s Movie Night at the Capitol Theatre.

Admission is $7 or flash your movie pass for entry. Check here for more info.

Today is McHappy Day!

On McHappy Day, you can be a hero just by ordering McDonald’s. That’s because a portion of proceeds from every menu item sold all day supports Ronald McDonald House and families with sick children across Canada.

1 in 4 Canadians has either been supported by Ronald McDonald House or know someone who has. Over the past 31 McHappy Day events, $111+ million has been raised in support of children and families across Canada.

The Toronto Maple Leafs won the NHL Draft Lottery and landed the first overall pick despite only the fifth-best odds.

Top prospect Gavin McKenna is the likely pick, coming off a standout season and already making waves internationally.

It’s just the third time in franchise history the Leafs pick first—previously selecting Wendel Clark and Auston Matthews.

The first round of the NHL Draft will be held on June 26th.
