Remember how February was a write-off because it never warmed up once during the whole month? We could always take solace in the prospect a sunny June, right? Well, maybe not. Here we are at the 14th and it has been wet, wet wet so far this month. This weekend as supposed to be nice. Next week? It looks pretty chancy too. Weather Network 

Belle Epoque is moving from its long-time location at 1066 Yonge Street to 604 Queen Street West, just west of Bathurst. The quirky furniture, decor and (sometimes) clothing store has been on Yonge for 20 years.

Jurassic World has returned a first night bonanza of an estimated $82.8 million in first night receipts and is set to do something similar tonight (Saturday, June 13, 2015). That gives Colin Trevorrow’s film the third biggest opening day of all time behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and Avengers: Age of Ultron, and puts it on pace for nearly $200 million in North American ticket sales by Sunday. It is quite a performance for a species with a brain the size of thimble. Still, some wags quipped that the humans in Jurassic World could have been a bit smarter too.  But then this is what makes a story. Enjoy.

Workers at a Tim Horton’s in Winnipeg have joined a union following a decision from the Manitoba Labour Relations Board. The 35 employees will now try to negotiate a contract. The union is the Workers United Canada, a body representing about 10,000 employees in Canada and 150,000 across North America.

The conversion of door-to-door mail delivery to community mailbox pick up in South Bayview is said to be scheduled to begin in 2018 and continue through 2019, according to a report in the Toronto Star. This report is based on a plan which has been prepared by Canada Post for City Council and which has not yet been released. It is expected to come before council in the next few days. An amazing revelation is that door-to-door delivery will be permanently continued by Canada to the residents and businesses in what is called the Downtown Core, an area south of Bloor St.  The plan divides Toronto into three such areas. The others include Dense Urban, the area known as mid-town and including South Bayview and all the neighbourhoods of Rosedale, Summerhill, Davisville, Moore Park, Leaside, Lawrence Park, Forest Hill and areas to the north. The third area is Urban, all of the suburbs as we know them — Etobicoke, North York and Scarborough. It includes a staggering 670,,987 addresses and is scheduled to begin conversion in 2017. Toronto Star
