The CNE is open!

Let's go to the Ex oh baby..let's go to the Ex! It's that time of year again. The Canadian National Exhibition (The Ex), can be expensive for a family day of fun so I always suggest packing a lunch to bring with you and take the TTC if you can! They will be featuring bandshell concerts,  midway, rides, a talent competition and much more! It runs from Aug 17 to Sep 3. $16, child/seniors $12, under 4 free (rides extra).
