What's Happening

The "crystallized" ROM is going all out to get families through its doors, though judging by the line ups I saw spilling a looooooong way on to Bloor during the Holidays, the newly re-opened Dino exhibit's already packing them in.
Anyway, Saturdays and Sundays are crammed with events that are free with admission.

Nearby, the Bata Shoe Museum has Saturday Shenanigans with a Chinese New Year theme until the end of February.

The Central is a restaurant/live music venue in Mirvish Village that's always hopping. During the next week there's several music shows and something called a Plasticine Poetry Series.

Clinton's, at Clinton and Bloor, is the venue for the free Art Bar poetry reading series 9th annual Discovery Night on the 22nd at 8 pm.

On the 20th there's a Virtual Family Tree Workshop at the Miles Nadal JCC. It's $50 per person or $75 a couple.

On the same day, the JCC also is hosting one in its series of music lectures about great Jewish composers. The topic Sunday will be Jews and Opera. It's $9, which includes bagels and coffee.

Enjoy your week!
