Lazeez Shawarma Celebrates Canada Day with Free Flag Giveaway Across 60+ locations

Business Wire6 hours ago

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This Canada Day, Lazeez Shawarma is celebrating the nation we all call home by giving away 50,000 free Canadian flags across 60+ locations in the Greater Toronto Area —once again inviting the community to show their Canadian pride and spirit.
Simply walk into any Lazeez restaurant and ask for a flag— no purchase necessary. It's a small gesture with a big meaning, especially during a time when Canadians come together to celebrate unity, diversity, and shared values.
'At Lazeez, we're proudly Canadian,' said a Lazeez spokesperson. 'Canada Day is a moment to reflect on the country we love—and for us, that means giving people a way to show their pride. There's nothing more symbolic than the flag.'
This marks the 11th consecutive year Lazeez has handed out flags for Canada Day, a tradition that started at a single location and has grown alongside the community it serves. Now, with 60+ restaurants across the GTA, the annual giveaway has become a familiar part of local celebrations.
Flags are available while supplies last, so visitors are encouraged to come early and join in the celebration.
And in the spirit of the day, anyone wearing Canada-themed clothing—whether it's a red shirt, maple leaf hat, or anything festive—will receive 25% off all items.
At Lazeez, the celebration is about more than food—it's about community, tradition, and pride in the country we all call home.

Dominique Fung Evokes Subliminal Romance in New Print

Summary This past spring, Canadian-Chinese artistDominique Fungturned heads with her monumental Hong Kong solo show, welcoming onlookers into her surreal, sublime world. Her oil paintings are harmonies of ancestral and contemporary elements, finding balance in the borderlands between the two. Now, Fung is teaming up withAvant Arteto launch a new print edition. Titled 'Handheld Fan,' the release continues her exploration of colonial-era aesthetics through deft portraiture and dreamy washes of color. The artist collaborated with the printmakers at Make-Ready for the 13-layer work, completed with raised accents enhancing its tactile quality while echoing themes of cultural memory and handcrafted touch. Based on her 2021 work 'Bone Holding Fan,' the image features four faces emerging from a Qing Dynasty bone fan, an object historically associated with elite court culture and the exotics of Asian femininity as seen through the Western gaze. These ornate fans, often carved from ivory or bone, once functioned as tools of allure and concealment. In 'Handheld Fan,' Fung dismantles these tropes across racial and gendered lines, transforming the fan into a fragmented yet potent site of critique and reimagination. Limited to an edition of 60, 'Handheld Fan' is a 13 layer textured UV pigment print with silkscreen matte varnish seal on 410 gsm Somerset Tub Sized Radiant White paper, and can be ordered float-mounted in one of three framing options. The artwork unframed measures 53.1 cm x 60.0 cm and will be available for $1,363 USD starting July 22. Check out Avant Arte'swebsiteto enter the draw.

Toronto Star bestsellers: Robert Macfarlane answers yes to ‘Is a River Alive?' and Robin Wall Kimmerer's ‘Braiding Sweetgrass' returns

Two years ago, British author Robert Macfarlane won the first Writers' Trust Weston International Award , a Canadian prize that honours a non-Canadian non-fiction author for their body of work. Macfarlane was honoured for exploring 'the relationship between humans and nature in new and illuminating ways.' His latest, 'Is a River Alive?' — which entered the original non-fiction list in late May at No. 4 and this week is at No. 3 — is described by Penguin Random House Canada as a 'perspective-shifting book' that answers yes to the question of whether these much abused bodies of water are indeed living things. One of the threatened rivers the book highlights is in northeastern Quebec, where Innu poet Rita Mestokosho is defending the Mutehekau or Magpie River against death by damming; another, in Ecuador, is at risk because of Canadian gold-mining. The book, Penguin says, is ' a literary work of art, a rallying cry and a catalyst for change … that will open hearts, spark debates and challenge perspectives.' Another book that parses the relationship between people and nature, 'Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants' by Indigenous botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer , is back on the original non-fiction list although, since the book has racked up 154 weeks in the rankings, last appearing in mid-April, it never really went away. And Kimmerer's 'The Serviceberry' just passed its 30th week on the same list. Yet another book by an Indigenous author that feels like it never went away returns this week. Bob Joseph 's '21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act' — in which the member of the Gwawaenuk Nation analyzes the shortcomings of the problematic Canadian law that has governed the lives of Indigenous Peoples since 1876 — has been a mainstay of the Canadian non-fiction list since April 2018 and reappears at No. 5 this week.

Beloved '90s Singer, 57, Gets 'Glammed Up' For Special Announcement and Looks Breathtaking

Beloved '90s Singer, 57, Gets 'Glammed Up' For Special Announcement and Looks Breathtaking originally appeared on Parade. The '90s were a magical time for entertainment, but it was a particularly special time for female artists. The surge of singer-songwriter women that happened gave us some of the most prolific artists in our lifetime, and a severely underrated one is Sarah McLachlan, "I Will Remember You" artist not only created some of the most gorgeous ballads of the '90s, she orchestrated one of the most memorable all-female festivals, Lilith Fair. Just one month ago, McLachlan announced that new music was on the way and yesterday, she made it even more official with a quick TikTok post. Her glam-team had her glowing as she announced that the new music release tomorrow Jun 26, as well as a new music video (which she hasn't done in years). Fans were thrilled to hear the announcement and were taken back by just how incredible she looks. "So gorgeous!!! Glad to see you back!! Your music is some of my favorite," wrote one fan. "Not only do you have an ethereal voice, but you are even more beautiful than ever," one long-time fan commented. "Thank you for gracing us with your gift." The name of the newest album hasn't been released yet, but it is sure to include her many musical talents from playing the piano to strumming a ukulele and of course her iconic voice.
