More Ontario Theatres Open
Cineplex Entertainment and Landmark Cinemas have opened several of their theatres in the province of Ontario, with limited showings and extra precautions to keep COVID-19 from being spread.
The newly converted Cine Stars Theatres in Western Ottawa and Burlington have also been opened with the above-mentioned precautions.
By the way, I’ve also noticed that Canadian Tire stores now sell both masks and face shields, although I couldn’t find the latter listed on their site. Disposable face masks are also available from your local Shoppers Drug Mart and Giant Tiger stores, as well as from living.ca online.
Virtual Canada Day
Multiple online, television and radio broadcasts will be made available today, many of which are listed on the Canadian Heritage web site.
You can also listen to the Top 100 Canadian Songs of All Time on Boom 97.3 starting at 10 AM Eastern. These will also air on local Boom affiliates through-out Canada.
Enjoy. And Stay safe.
Juno Awards – Live Tonight
The Juno Awards will air tonight at 8 pm Eastern on the CBC web site, CBC Television and GEM web site, minus the audience, of course.
Live Music for 60 days
Canadian iPhone and iPad owners now have access to 60 days of live music via the #beapp, thanks to Coca Cola. Click on the icon below to download this app.
May The Fourth Be With You
It’s May 4th, Star Wars Day 2020, and “Star Wars: The Ride Of Skywalker” has been released early today on Disney Plus.
Quite frankly, I had found the film acceptable. Not incredible but acceptable, so I will probably buy the blu-ray for my collection on Prime Day or Black Friday, which may be on the same day if the current events continue. Hopefully, they won’t for long.
In regard to special Star Wars Day events today, American retailers Areyougame.com, Barnes and Noble, Calenders.com, and Entertainment Earth are offering discounts on Star Wars merchandise, some offering pre-orders for memorabilia. And some discounted items can be found at Amazon.ca and Indigo Books & Music. But generally, most of the major retailers are currently only shipping essential goods so your best bet for finding deals is at the aforementioned sites or the Official Star Wars site.
