KG: “I was put onto [Patois] through the pandemic as I was trying new local spots to order from. Despite all restaurants going through it and being hit hard-, Patois never sacrificed on quality, service and seasoning. First and foremost the cocktails like the SxSE-- made with Patrón Silver, Jamaican rum, Pandan, Apricot, and Calamansi-- are amazing. The Jamaican patty double down, Jamaican curry cottage pie and Crispy Pork chop bun are really good."

KG: "The AGO has always been the place to go to and get lost in not only art from an international scale but from a local level as well. What I love the most about it is the price point. It really increases the level of accessibility for [people] to immerse themselves in art and culture."

GORDONRIDGE COMMUNITY MULTI-SPORT COURT KG: "This city had a weird stigma over the last couple of years around basketball courts and there was a huge fight to ensure that all nets and rims were brought back across the city. That is why I chose to highlight this court. It is in a community that so deserves attention. My favourite element is the vibrancy of colours --- I think it really compliments and speaks to the community that occupies it."

KG: "Trillium Park is best around fall. Something about the leaves changing their color and welcoming in a new season gets me every single time. There's a couple of new additions to the park that stretch into the back of Ontario Place. Although rocky, it includes a little beach area, which is nice. But my favourite is the lookout spot right beside it."

KG: "Makeway is my favourite shop at Stackt Market. They're a woman-run sneaker and streetwear store. There’s an incredible selection and I know women who love sneakers want to hear this: proper range of sizing. There are so many unique shops set up so you can grab a coffee or an ice cream and walk around. They've got an open concept [design] where you can just grab your drink, food and just chill with your people."
