\"\"A provincial election has officially been set for\u00a0February 27th.<\/p>\n

The date was set Tuesday afternoon, when Ontario Premier Doug Ford visited the Lieutenant Governor and asked to dissolve the 43rd Parliament of Ontario and set an election date.<\/p>\n

According to Ontario\u2019s Election Act an election must be called on a Wednesday. Provincial elections in Ontario must always be held on the fifth Thursday after the writ drops. That will leave a campaign period of 28 days.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"It’s prime time for campers to book their sites.<\/p>\n

Ontario Parks<\/a> allows campers to book sites (online at ontarioparks.com<\/a> or by phone at 1-888-ONT-PARK) up to five months in advance, so now you can book trips for the first weekend of the summer break.<\/p>\n

If you want to camp at popular parks like Algonquin, Bon Echo, Killbear, Pinery, and Sandbanks, you should reserve as early as possible.<\/p>\n

\"\"Happy Chinese New Year. It’s the year of the Snake.<\/p>\n

Known as Spring Festival in China, Lunar New Year is the most important time for families to get together, likened by some to Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years combined.<\/p>\n

Every year, hundreds of millions of people who have left their hometowns to build a life in China’s fast growing cities pour into trains, buses and planes to see their family — a weeks-long travel rush known as the largest annual human migration on Earth. In China, people will get 7 days off from work.<\/p>\n

A couple things you’re not supposed to do on Chinese New Year are: no sweeping or taking out the trash, because it’s like sweeping wealth away and dumping out good fortune. And washing your hair supposedly washes away your good luck too.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, some things that are encouraged are: lighting fireworks, wearing red, gifting people cash in red envelopes, and eating dumplings.<\/p>\n
