Depends on what you like. They got bowling and laser quest like everywhere else. I've hung out there a few times when I was that way. As far as clubs/bars there's Pearl, Phils, Brixton, Starlight, and Flying Dog. Also in Guelph(15 minutes) there's ALL the spots downtown

Guelph is so live pawg central

Refugees receive up to a maximum of $25,000 per family, which includes "a onetime startup payment to assist the refugees in establishing a household in Canada, as well as monthly income support to help them get through their first year in the country," said Nancy Chan, a communications adviser in the Immigration Department.

Pure racism.

You see the neighbors had no issue with it. Afrofest is a family even that never has violence or unruly behavior and people go home peacefully and quietly.

lol I've never heard that before. When I was in TO I went every year and I've been going there for years(when I can) along with friends and almost every country on the continent is represented and whole bunch of Caribbean people show.

Hell even the talk about violence on Caribana weekend has been overdone. The way CACs describe you'd think its a war out there.

Yeah, west, central, east, north, south..even Maghrebs. I cant remember the website but this Jamaican girl created a blog/webpage dedicated to all the African girls she sees at Afrofest, and took pictures of one from every country. She compared them to some type of turtles(from some documentary) that come out once a year and disappear until Afrofest.

I personally never saw any fights at Caribana. I heard about one shooting years ago, but I didn't go to that one, haven't been in a while though.

Violence tends to happen at hip hop events. The more authentic you keep Caribana(no hip hop and gay floats lol) the less chances of violence.
