2. How haunted houses provide the right type of fear.

3. What’s the spookiest haunted school in Toronto?

4. Did you know there’s a candy hierarchy? We don’t totally agree with it, as while the top tier are in fact top tier, the gummies and rockets need to be higher for the sake of balance and seasonality.

Drake Hotel Executive Chef Anthony Rose’s Healthy Lunchbox Smorgasbord

Chef Anthony Rose shares his son’s favourite school lunch

Drake Hotel Exceutive Chef Anthony Rose is working with the Angel Foundation for Learning to spread awareness about the importance of a solid, healthy school lunch.

Over 30,000 children (1 in 3 students) within the Toronto Catholic District School Board use student nutrition programs every day, be it breakfasts, lunches or snacks (amounting to an amazing 5.3 million nourishing meals per year). This year, to mark the City of Toronto’s Feeding Toronto’s Hungry Students Week (October 3-7, 2011), The Drake Hotel’s Chef Anthony Rose created an interactive Lunchbox Smorgasbord for parents to make with their kids at home. By sharing this recipe, his goal is to raise awareness of just how great a need exists in our own communities, and the immense, positive impact that nutrition programs have on building bright futures for our children.
