We couldn’t do TIFF ’17 without the support of our amazing partners who make what otherwise is an eventful and hectic 11 days just that much more manageable! We’re lucky already to have an amazing Team (Jonathan Godfrey, Justin Waldman, Siobhán Rich, David Baldwin and Amanda Gilmore) who help bring us the coverage on the Films and talent making the biggest splash at the Festival, but we’re just as grateful to have the support of some amazing partners including:

CP24

Returning for a ninth consecutive year, we’ll be partnering again with Southern Ontario’s favourite news channel CP24 for TIFF ’17 delivering you all the scoop on the Festival’s hottest Films and stars! See our photos real-time as we upload them onto our Social media channels as we spot the stars and see the Films, and also on CP24! You’ll see a lot of us in-studio and live-to-air.  Be watching!

Here’s a link to our TIFF ’17 Preview on Live at Noon:

STARBUCKS CANADA

Every TIFF we’re treated to amazing Films which we’re so lucky to see first before Awards Season and all those stars in town! But  just as exciting is that the Pumpkin Spice Latte, known affectionately as the PSL, returns too right in time for the Festival!  The PSL is our official beverage of choice during the Festival and the perfect treat at a time of ultimate indulgence! Learn all about Starbucks Canada‘s Fall Menu and stay connected on all their new delicious offerings here.

Make-Up Artist-recommended, these bamboo cloths from Consonant Skin Care which come in packs of 10, not only cleanse but also brighten the skin with anti-aging botanicals! It’s so easy to not look your freshest after those long TIFF days, and these will ensure you look your freshest! More here.

THE FASHION PIG

SPUDNIKS
It’s so easy to forget about snacking smart during TIFF with movies and stars on your mind, but Toronto’s own SPUDNIKS Kettle Corn, Kettle Chips and Caramel Corn available in large and small sizes, are the perfect snack. Even more awesome, Canada 150 is fully in patriotic effect with their Maple Popcorn which is to die for, but if you’re into something simple and lighter, try their Skinny Pop Sea Salt and Sunflower Oil-seasoned Popcorn! They contain no MSG, are all natural, no additives nor Trans-Fats. Heart-healthy, almost all their products have no cholesterol. Did you know that SPUDNIKS is the official Caramel Corn of Toronto institutions like the CN Tower, Toronto Blue Jays and the Royal Ontario Museum? You can even get ’em at Pearson Airport! More here.

SUBWAY® GRILLED WRAPS

During TIFF, every second counts and sometimes you just have to multi-task eating with searching something on your phone. These Subway®  Grilled Wraps let you hold it all together with deliciousness you can enjoy with one hand and they come in B.L.T., Chicken Caesar and Chicken & Bacon Wrap.

• The savoury Chicken Caesar Melt combines rotisserie-style chicken with shredded Monterey Cheddar cheese, a sprinkle of Parmesan, baby spinach, tomatoes and Caesar sauce, wrapped in a soft tortilla and grilled to perfection.

• Chicken & Bacon Ranch Melt features tender, rotisserie-style 100 per cent Canadian chicken free from artificial flavours, colours and preservatives, served on a fresh tortilla, with mouth-watering bacon, shredded Monterey Cheddar cheese, red onions, green peppers, tomatoes and a creamy ranch sauce.

• You can’t go wrong with a classic grilled B.L.T. wrap, featuring strips of bacon and topped with lettuce, tomatoes and a drizzle of mayo.

With a location right in the middle of the action at King x John, nourishment is never far away, letting you hold it all together! Learn more about Subway® Grilled Wraps here.

2017 HONDA CIVIC 5D SPORT TOURING

Having a nimble, compact ride is a must during TIFF whether it be for navigating through the bustle of Entertainment District or fitting into those tight parking spots on-the-run.  We are of the firm belief that less is more during TIFF and we can’t wait to navigate the Festival in our official ride of TIFF ’17, the super–sleek 2017 Honda Civic 5D Sport Touring! We love its leather interior, wireless phone charging and Honda Sensing™ Suite! The car is the perfect blend of versatility, class and value. Learn more about it here!

We love it and always keep coming back!  More here.

Hot on the heels of granting some Sandwishes for our Readers, we are thrilled to remind you once again that tomorrow is #NationalSandwichDay! To celebrate the day, our friends at SUBWAY® Canada are not only doing good for our Willionaires, but also Canadian families at risk!

Tomorrow, Thursday, November 3, 2016, SUBWAY® Canada will be donating the equivalent of one meal for every purchase of a drink and sandwich!

This means more than 303,000 meals will be donated across the country to Food Banks Canada, who helps over 1.7 million Canadians with their network of 550 food banks and 3,000 affiliated programs.

We had the absolute pleasure of visiting the North York Harvest Food Bank today participating in a food sort.  The process ensure that the Food Bank stays organized and more importantly that those who receive your donations are getting food, a portion of which is fresh, just like those delicious, nourishing sandwiches we eat at SUBWAY®.

Working together with SUBWAY® Canada employees across the GTA volunteering for the morning, together we sorted and packed donations grouped into several food categories.

In a guided tour from Michelle Vinokurov, Director of Development and Marketing for the North York Harvest, we learned that recipients are permitted to make only two visits per month to the Food Bank, meaning that families must carefully ration their supplies with much caution. Their philosophy very much places first and foremost the dignity of recipients giving them choice in selections based on their own tastes and dietary restrictions. Pet food even is accepted, which may come as a surprise to some.

See some Snaps from the day:

Great news SUBWAY® Fans!  Tuesday, October 11, 2016 – the day after Thanksgiving – marks the launch of something delicious and new at your favourite Sandwich purveyor!  Carved Turkey will be introduced as a new menu option nationwide and best of all, it’s homegrown and raised Canadian Turkey!

A select group of influencers were whisked away on a serene, stress-free getaway to Country Apple Orchard Farm in King City where we got to preview firsthand the new Carved Turkey compliments of Executive Chef Chris Martone.  The hearty protein, reminiscent of a day-after-Thanksgiving sandwich, was paired perfectly with a Cranberry Mustard sauce. We also got to try new beverage option IZZE, a sparkling juice with no sugar added, plus SUBWAY®’s scrumptious new Apple Pie Cookies!

Rachelle Brown of the Turkey Farmers of Canada told us, “Turkey normally is thought of as for celebrations, but we’re about to change that! It can be something eaten every day!”.

We had a little fun afterward picking apples. Roman of Country Apple Orchard Farm kindly differentiated a few types of apples for us.  Macintosh we learned are perfect for baking, while Portland are great for apple sauce.  Our favourite, Spartan are sweet enough to be eaten.  We stocked-up and made Apple Pie, which was perfectly tart and sweet!

Some Snaps of the day:

Did you know that Subway Canada launch Carved Turkey on their menu 10.11? You must try their Cranberry Mustard Dressing and Apple Pie Cookies! A perfect, relaxing, worry-free day at CountryApple.Ca #FallforCarvedTurkey #Subway #Sandwishes

Whether it be hot or cold, ham or chicken, cold cut or pizza, roast beef or steak, tuna or turkey, SUBWAY® Canada has always been there to fulfill our every Sandwish. Canadians love quality, freshness and choice and since 1986, SUBWAY® has proven time and again in Zoltar-like form that it both understands and fulfils our cravings when we want something fast, accessible and most of all delicious

Always ahead of the curve, SUBWAY® time and again has excited us with their featured subs and we admit, we’re gaga for their superb Korean BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich, available for a limited time only. Their other current feature, the Chicken & Bacon BBQ Melt also has proven quite the hit!
