Getting Kids Ready for Back to School: Tips for a Smooth Transition

As summer winds down, the excitement and anticipation of a new school year begin to build. Preparing your kids for back to school can be a fun and rewarding experience with a bit of planning and organization. Here are some tips to help ensure a smooth transition: 1.

Toronto Braces for Winter Blast: Messy Commute Ahead




Toronto residents are gearing up for a challenging evening commute as the city anticipates its first significant snowfall of the season. Environment Canada has issued a weather advisory, forecasting a mix of rain and snow accompanied by strong winds reaching 50 to 60 km/h. This combination is expected to lead to reduced visibility and slippery conditions on the roads.

Chief Meteorologist Anthony Farnell advises that the snowfall, ranging from 1 to 3 cm near Lake Ontario to 4 to 8 cm in the northern and eastern parts of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), will make for “difficult travel” overnight and into the morning. However, the weather is set to clear up with sunshine expected for much of Tuesday, allowing for a swift improvement in conditions.

While Toronto prepares for this wintry mix, other communities in Ontario are on alert for heavier snowfall, particularly those along the edge of Lake Huron, where snow squall warnings have been issued. As the city faces this winter challenge, drivers are reminded to exercise caution and adjust their travel plans accordingly.
