Convocation Week is Almost Here! 🎓💜

We’d love to extend a huge congrats to all of the hardworking graduates who will be celebrating their academic achievements this year. Education is a journey that never truly ends as we walk through life, continuously learning about ourselves and others: but convocation marks a special moment in time that deserves to be celebrated. We’re so proud of you! ⭐️

For the proud parents and loved ones, don’t forget that we’ve got ample underground parking right across the street from Canada Life Place and 1 hour free parking with validation. Find delicious food at our restaurants, take photos at a local landmark, and make memories right here in the heart of London! ♥️

Happy Pride!

Our community is vibrant and rich with kindness: we’re so happy to celebrate Pride Month alongside all the LGBTQIA2S+ individuals who add even more love to the city we all call home. The world is bigger, brighter, and better because of them! Happy Pride Month ✨

London Multicultural Festival is This Weekend!

This free and family-friendly festival showcases the culture and heritage of the different ethnic groups in London, builds bridges amongst the communities, and provides a face-to-face opportunity to people from all groups to get together, share stories and learn from each other. 💃☀️

Take in live performances from global artists, explore treasures and traditions, and savour ethnic cuisine at its best! 🌮🌺✨ This festival is a *free* family-friendly event where all generations can enjoy an afternoon of culture, learning and fun. Everyone is welcome: join us on Rotary Square and Talbot Street!
