Canada Day in Toronto means Electric Island's massive dance party returns to Olympic Island Park to celebrate. Brewer's Backyard will be serving up craft beer, cider, and snacks at Brick Works, but if you're more serious about grub Steam Whistle is serving lobster - or you can eat for free at the buffet at every Mandarin location from 12-8:30pm. Expect line ups. Get to Queen's Park (111 Wellesley Street West) if you want to meet the princesses from Frozen (after I meet them though - wait in line).
