Canada Day by the Water

For those of you who can't escape the city this Canada Day weekend, you could always head down to the lake where the Harbourfront is holding its Power of Place festival. It's a bit of a hodgepodge weekend with everything from Jason Collett, the Dears (pictured) and fireworks on Saturday night to the Refugee All Stars and blind musicians and Eye cover subjects Amadou and Mariam Sunday. The weekend's musical offerings wrap up with local Cuban group Son Ache and UK/Cuban fusion group Ska Cubano on Monday. If music isn't your thing there are also plenty of film, art, and dance offerings.
