As February chugs along, so does Winterlude, and the many events around the city for this amazing festival. The canal is in excellent skating condition and daily activities can be found all around the downtown core. Although this week is not as jam-packed as last week, there’s still lots going on! Also, this Wednesday is February 14^th, which means either Valentines Day or Singles Appreciation Day, depending on your situation and there’s lots to see and do around town.

TD Place is the venue of choice for the week with exciting activities on most days! There’s a 67s game taking place, Snowmania Competition building as many snowmen as possible right in the stadium field area, and Winter Brew Fest is running Friday and Saturday! The major theatrical event this week is the opening of Les Misérable at the National Arts Centre.

My top three picks of the week:

• Snowmania Competition (TD Place, Saturday)
• Winter Brew Fest (Aberdeen Pavilion, Friday/Saturday)
• Aquatopia Valentine’s Day Dinner Under the Stars with Wine Pairing (Aquatopia Conservatory, Wednesday Night)

Announcements:

• I’ve expanded my blog, and am now subscribed to the new social media, called Steemit! If you’ve got a profile, shoot me a follow and I’ll reciprocate! I plan on posting shorter, less formal blog posts about current affairs on that medium, and bypassing my main site so it’ll give you some insight on my personal views on topical events.
• In case you missed it, the Bluesfest line up will be released this week, so stay tuned as I’ll be sending it out live!!
• I have come to an agreement with Faces Magazine, where my reviews will contribute to their online publication!! I’m very excited about this opportunity, and I invite you to check out their site!
• If you’re hosting an event in the future, I offer advertising on my site…please click on: Promote your Event on the main menu for details. I’m also happy to come and review your event at the low cost of 2 complimentary tickets. ? And as stated in the previous point, those reviews may make it on to the Faces Magazine website as well!
