Globally-renowned culinary series THE RARE TOUR makes its only Canadian stop in Toronto at BLACK+ BLUE STEAKHOUSE in Financial District, running now through March 28, 2025. For this limited engagement, Executive Chef Morgan Bellis teams up with CAPA‘s Chef Casper Sobczyk on a special Four Hands Dinner, which some fortunate diners will get to experience. For those who don’t know, Michelin-rated CAPA has been named the number 23 World’s 101 Best Steakhouse and Sobczyk flew-in specially to give Toronto a taste of something unique and rare.

The sumptuous four course dinner with wine pairings is a delight to the senses, highlighting the premium cuts of meat that make BLACK+BLUE the standout that it is, along with flavours and inspiration that have made CAPA famous. This cannot be missed.

We had the privilege of enjoying the FOUR HANDS DINNER. We were surprised by a Beef Tenderloin and Oyster pairing, floored by B+B‘s exquisite sushi, mesmerized by the spinach crêpe and pastry-wrapped Beef Wellington prepped by Chef Dennis Peckham, plus their otherwordly dessert called The Apple. Let’s not forget a very intentionally Canadian wine list.

TELUS originals is pleased to announce that Damien Eagle Bear’s restorative biopic feature documentary, #skoden, will have its world premiere at Hot Docs 2025 on April 29 at 8:30 PM at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema with a second screening on May 1, 2025 at 11:45 AM at TIFF Lightbox 1.

skoden is written, directed and produced by Damien Eagle Bear (Napi, Big Momma, The Bannocking). It was filmed on location in Lethbridge and the Blood Reserve on traditional Blackfoot Territory.

Every meme has its story. #skoden delves into the origins of Turtle Island’s most iconic meme to redefine the man at the center of it all, Pernell Bad Arm. In the early days of social media, a notorious image circulated of an Indigenous man with raised fists, ready to strike. The photo was initially shared to mock and reinforce stereotypes of Indigenous peoples, but one word added to the image would change it forever. SKODEN – an Indigenous shortening of “let’s go then” – ignited an instant Indigenous pop culture icon that spread like wildfire across Turtle Island and beyond. But underneath the viral fame was a kind and generous Blackfoot man from Kainai who faced immense challenges while living on the streets. This documentary seeks to reclaim Pernell’s humanity, offering a deeper, more complex portrait of the man behind the meme.

This is his story.

“Pernell’s story is more than just a meme; he was a person deserving dignity and respect. For me, that was the driving force behind #skoden to reclaim his narrative and delve into the story behind that photo. I’m grateful to TELUS originals for supporting me on this journey so that this story could be told with the depth and respect it deserves,” said writer/director/producer Damien Eagle Bear.

“It was a privilege to collaborate with Damien Eagle Bear in supporting an essential and powerful story that is so deeply personal to him and the Kainai First Nation community. I’m struck by Damien’s remarkable sensitivity in his nuanced directorial voice and I’m thrilled that #skoden honours the untold story of the man behind the meme, Pernell Bad Arm,” added Ken Tsui, Sr. Production Executive, TELUS originals.

Cinematography by Tamarra Canu (1 Million Followers, The Superhero Who Loved Me), editing by Jasleen Kaur (Pharma Bro, Perfect Daughter), Kane Stewart (Seagrass, Until Branches Bend), and Billy Calling First (The Bannocking), with Melody McKiver (Singing Back the Buffalo, Wildhood) serving as composer, and Elle-Maija Tailfeathers (Until Branches Bend, The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open) as story editor.

ABOUT DAMIEN EAGLE BEAR
Niitsitapi, amateur physicist, frybread-eating machine, Damien Eagle Bear is a multifaceted filmmaker from the Kainai First Nation of the Blackfoot Confederacy. His career began with the short experimental documentary Napi, which asks the question of what will happen when the Blackfoot trickster gets behind the camera. It premiered at the opening night of the 37th American Indian Film Festival in 2012 and went on to screen at multiple film festivals. Damien continued to work as a videographer, building his technical filmmaking skills before moving into producing. With the support of the National Screen Institute’s IndigiDocs program, He developed Big Momma, a short documentary about the journey of a Two Spirit comedian, Preston Stimson, from personal struggles to the stage. This was quickly followed up with the short film q’sapi times, supported through TELUS STORYHIVE’s inaugural Indigenous Edition, is a modern take on a traditional Syilx (Okanagan) coyote story. Both short films premiered at the Vancouver International Film Festival in 2019. Following that success, he took on his next challenge, The Bannocking, a six-part horror-comedy web series that explores family dynamics and relationships during an outbreak of a zombie-like sickness. The series was selected for Telefilm’s Talent to Watch Program and released online through CBC Gem in 2023. Damien’s projects have gone to multiple film festivals throughout Canada and the United States of America, including the imagineNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival, Vancouver International Film Festival, and LA Skins Film Festival. He is an alumnus of Capilano University, graduating from the Cinematography and Indigenous Filmmaking Programs. His work explores the themes of belonging and Indigenous resiliency.

Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group, a world leader in live entertainment, is pleased to announce its most ambitious project to-date as it gets ready to break ground on an impressive free-standing structure that will be presented for the first time in Canada. Building on four decades of pushing the boundaries of the imagination, the company is bringing its creative approach to The Pavilion by Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group, located at 2150 Lake Shore Blvd. W., in Toronto, ON. A hybrid of the iconic Big Top experience and worldclass arena atmosphere, The Pavilion is set to welcome audiences for the premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s 25th production, OVO, beginning May 1 to June 28, 2025. For more information and tickets, go to www.cirquedusoleil.com/ovo.

“The Pavilion is a cutting-edge approach to how we can bring live entertainment to more audiences in more places around the world. The versatility of its design allows us to present a wide-ranging and ever-growing array of exciting shows under the Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group portfolio,” says Duncan Fisher, Chief Officer Show Operations, Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group. “The Pavilion embodies the spirit of innovation and ingenuity that Cirque du Soleil is known for, and we are thrilled to bring this new venue experience to Toronto – a city that has always embraced our artistic vision.”

The Pavilion – By The Numbers:
The Pavilion is the world’s largest free-standing venue measuring 60 meters wide by 75 meters long and stands 25 meter tall. The structure is about the size of 40 shipping containers
The steel frame structure is made from 4480 pieces of hardware, including 756 wall panels
The structure is secured by as many as 128 anchors (each 12ft long) dug into the ground
It will take approximately 28 days to assemble The Pavilion (working around the clock 24/7); and three weeks to dismantle
The Pavilion can be configured to accommodate up to 5000 seats in various formations

The original concept of a ‘mobile arena’ by Cirque du Soleil made its debut in Sanya, China in 2018 for the premiere of Toruk. The structure was developed in partnership with Belgium-based company, Spantech, a global leader in building large-scale modular structures. Since then, the mobile arena concept has travelled to Sao Paulo, Brazil (Crystal, 2024), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (Toruk, 2018), and coming to Toronto, Canada.

The Canadian version, The Pavilion, will be unique to previous Cirque du Soleil mobile arenas featuring an all-new building facade that emulates the iconic Big Top with its signature stripes and Chapiteau silhouette to welcome visitors as they enter the venue. And unlike a permanent structure, the stage and seating configuration of The Pavilion is interchangeable to suit different shows from smaller intimate settings to 360 viewing.

Cirque du Soleil’s OVO at The Pavilion: May 1 – June 28, 2025
Cirque du Soleil’s 25th production, OVO (“egg” in Portuguese), is a bountiful riot of energy, movement, wonder, and joy found in nature. Through show-stopping acrobatics highlighting insect species and their unique personalities and abilities, OVO explores the beauty of biodiversity in all its contrasts and vibrancy. Since its first and only stop in Toronto in 2009, OVO has recently added new acts, new characters, new music and is set to dazzle a new generation of all-ages! From mighty crickets bouncing off trampolines to a hypnotic spider contorting inside her web, OVO exudes extraordinary showmanship to tickle the imagination. Comprised of 100 people from 25 different countries, including 52 artists, OVO brings to the stage high-level acrobatic acts redefining the limits of the human body. OVO is presented by Sun Life, principal partner of the Canadian tour. Cirque du Soleil also wishes to thank its official partners Air Canada and Mastercard.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are one of the most storied franchises in the history of the National Hockey League (NHL). Founded in 1917 as the Toronto Arenas, the team was one of the original members of the NHL. After struggling in its early years, the franchise was sold and renamed the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1927 by owner and future Hall of Famer, Harold Ballard. It is extremely simple to set up the 1xBet apk into your mobile device, and if you do so, you will also be able to wager on this squad too.

Throughout its early history, the team found success, winning their first Stanley Cup in 1918 under the name “Arenas.” The franchise flourished in the 1940s and 1960s, with the Leafs securing a total of 11 Stanley Cups, including five during a dominant era in the 1960s. Many players of this squad became icons, with 3 of them being:

• Maurice “Rocket” Richard;
• Ted Kennedy;
• and Dave Keon.

All of them pushed the team to its most successful period. If you also want to be successful, then you may want to download and set up the apk of the 1xBet application into your mobile gadget, which then you can sue to wager on ice hockey squads.

Facing all kinds of ups and downs

However, after the 1967 Stanley Cup, the Leafs entered a prolonged period of mediocrity and struggled to return to championship glory. The team faced numerous challenges, including poor management decisions, changes in ownership, and inconsistent player performance. Despite this, the Leafs maintained a dedicated fan base. The 1xBet Canada platform is filled with wagers on the Maple Leafs and many other great ice hockey squads too.

The 1990s saw a resurgence with the arrival of stars like Doug Gilmour, Mats Sundin, and Felix Potvin. The team made several playoff appearances, including reaching the Conference Finals in 1993, but could not capture the elusive Stanley Cup.

Entering the 21st century, the Leafs remained a competitive team but have not won the Stanley Cup, which is also featured at the Canadian 1xBet platform, since 1967. However, as things are going, it is more than likely that they will win the competition again sooner rather than later.

Over the past two decades, the team has undergone several rebuilds, focusing on young talent like Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, and William Nylander. Despite the ongoing challenges, the Leafs have remained a beloved franchise with a rich history, and their passionate fanbase continues to hope for another championship in the future.
