Under 8s pay tribute and challenge to save the Monarchs

A departing look at Remembrance Day as under-eight-year-old soccer players (Tigers and Leaside Colts) bow their heads ahead of a match at LHS field. Then below that, a reminder from SciComm, a group of self-described geeky volunteers, that the beautiful Monarch butterflies need the Milkweed plant to survive. It is essential to their nesting and feeding. SciComm geeks addressed a gathering at Leaside Library on McRae Drive Saturday. To the right, word of MRKT Holiday Show and Sale at All-Canadian Storage, 1 Laird, on December 2. Lower left is the poster for this year’s Mt. Pleasant Village Christmas Fair also December 2. Be there. And finally, Avenue Bistro at 1568 Bayview Ave. (formerly L’Avenue) posted this irresistible braised lamb shoulder on ratatouille with smashed fingerlings, cured black olive tapenade and “braising jus.” Yum.
