PARADE: The annual Labour Day Parade march is happening today, obviously. The march, run by the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, celebrates union activists and workers. The march begins at the intersection of Queen Street and University Avenue and moves west until it finishes at the Ex. Best part? Participants get free CNE admission. It's almost worth it. Queen Street and University Avenue, 11 a.m., FREE.

It's officially summer! Beer-swillers laze about on patios, hipsters remove their keffiyehs (well almost), and the Power Plant begins its All Summer, All Free program. Launching concurrently is their summer exhibition Not Quite How I Remember It, which features Canadian artists Diane Borsato and Nestor Krüger, as well as international artists Sharon Hayes, Gerard Byrne, and Kelley Walker, among many others. The show aims to navigate the roles memory and history play in our society and dissect how the past reasserts itself in the present. "In treating the past as a work in progress, artists in the exhibition throw light on timely issues of authorship, ownership, identification, influence, and collectivity," says Helena Reckitt, Senior Curator of Programs.
