Much like the constant turnover of festivals right now, where one bleeds into the next, the heatwaves just keep coming.
We've yet to break the big records that we set back in 2020, but hot damn, make sure you stay hydrated and cool out there—even if that means you have to begrudgingly visit your aunt and uncle in Pointe-Claire for their prized backyard pool. Just pick up one of those Tim Hortons iced capp pool floaties, some margarita mix, and you'll be golden.
Now, somewhere in between all this talk of how hot it is and being asked to go see free Jazz Fest shows while planning for what you'll see at JFL every night of the week (phone on silent thank u v much), the city's experiencing it's usual growing pains: There's strange city planning and housing shortages in the midst of moving day, but there's some lighter news too involving mythical strippers, the biggest sailboat enthusiast in the city, and a metric ton of food events.
