Toronto Festivals & Events for This Weekend (Jan 9 - Jan 11)

Good morning Torontonians,

I just learnt that you can book a test drive with Tesla’s Cybertruck for free in Yorkdale and we are planning to try it next week (not an ad). We tried sitting in the demo car in the mall yesterday and it felt funny because it’s so different from our normal truck. Not buying it anyway but a free way to spend my weekend :D

Anyway, here are what you can do Friday (1/9) to Sunday (1/11)! Hope you have a great weekend❣️ If you missed our previous newsletter, especially if you subscribed recently, you can view our previous newsletter here.
