Moments no. 7

The past six months have been busy, both professionally and personally. Yorkdale's East Expansion opened to the public in October, an exciting project that was an honour to be a part of - and as you can see below, a cause for celebration. In December I joined AGO Next, a unique membership program for art lovers under 40 organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario. I've had so much fun previewing new exhibits (so far, Mystical Landscapes, Tributes & Tributaries, Anthony Caro, and a special talk on art collecting), listening to talented curators discuss their theses, and socializing with young people who are also passionate about art. In January my partner and I moved to a new place, and we've spent almost every weekend since hunting for the perfect furniture. Despite the unbearably cold weather that typically engulfs Toronto from November to March, I find that the city has a thriving winter culture of exhibits, outdoor festivals, and exciting food and beverage offerings that help temper the winter blues affecting all of us.

Winter Fun

This past weekend I went dog sledding and snowshoeing in Moonstone, Ontario. Organized through Toronto Adventures, my friends and I were picked up bright and early on Saturday morning for an action-packed day of winter activities. Typically not one to venture too far outside this time of year, I felt like a true Canadian spending the day in the snow. We had so much fun hanging out with the huskies, snowshoeing through wintry trails, and dog sledding, each of us for the first time. By far one of the best ways to spend a snowy Saturday in January.
