Extra, Extra: ROM Changes, Mascot Hugs, and Summer Camp

Every weekday’s end, we collect just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.

Here are pictures of Rachel McAdams being hugged by the Toronto Raptors’ mascot at a game, in what has been interpreted by the experts as a possible attempt to console her after her recent breakup with Michael Sheen.
And here’s something that will probably cheer up anyone feeling downtrodden after this week’s grey skies and sleet: registration for City-run summer camps starts on Saturday.
