Pickle Barrel honours the Canadian Armed Forces today and throughout the year with a slew of incentives for those who serve. On Nov. 11, veterans and active members of the Canadian military will receive a free two course meal. The company said in a statement:
“A thank you will never be enough, but this is the least we can do.”
Part of the Pickle Barrel’s veteran meals include fettuccine pomodoro, fish and chips, and spaghetti and meatballs. Pickle Barrel was founded in 1971, as an 85-seat deli on Toronto’s Leslie Street. Today, the company has 1,000 employees and more than 300 items on their menu. The company recognizes the service of Canada’s brave men and women. It is the company’s belief that members of our military have at least earned a good meal.
“Please bring your friends and family this Remembrance Day to help us honour those who have served our country.”
Global Diversity Awareness month is a great opportunity for organizations to respect and celebrate the different ethnicities and cultures in their workspaces. Personal Injury law firm, Diamond and Diamond, has grown from 5 – 160+ employees in the last 7 years. They actively work to ensure that diversity is embedded in their culture. “None of our lawyers want to leave because we have a great, inclusive atmosphere and we treat everyone like family” shares Isaac Zisckind, Senior Partner at Diamond and Diamond. “Everyone can still be themselves here, even though we’ve grown to the scale that we’ve grown.” – Diana Lakossavas, Executive Assistant at Diamond and Diamond.
1. Communicate Effectively to Differences
Feedback isn’t necessarily universal: the most effective tones and delivery methods can vary from individual to individual. Taking the time to stop and examine these differences before offering corrections will improve the behaviour(s) in question as well as the connection between management and employees. Leaders must be ready and willing to flex their feedback delivery depending on the employee they’re speaking to: a conscious shift in words or approach used can make a big difference.
2. Find Your Blind Spots
Never assume that you’re getting everything right. Remember, it’s your employees that ultimately decide if you’re addressing the problem areas you believe that you are, so be sure they’re a part of the conversation on diversity. Use anonymous surveys to help gauge successful diversity initiative implementation and highlight areas in need of improvement.
3. Observe Both Statutory Holidays and “Non-Stat” Holidays
There is no national religion or culture, so while some holidays may be more socially popular than others, they can also be isolating for those that don’t celebrate them. Make sure your employees know – proactively – that they are welcome to take holidays off for their religion, even if those holidays don’t coincide with stat holidays.
4. Diversity Starts with Leadership
If your diversity initiatives are by employees and for employees, chances are your workplace is falling short. Senior leadership shouldn’t be a passive participant in these goals, they should be an enthusiastic voice and role model whenever possible. Remember, these are the individuals representing your business not only to your team, but to those outside your organization as well. “Working with my husband and my brother is really great because we get different perspectives on things – I’m able to bring the female point of view, they bring the male point of view and we can bounce ideas off each other” shares Sandra Zisckind, Senior Partner at Diamond and Diamond who leads the firm alongside her husband, Jeremy Diamond and brother, Isaac.
5. Encourage Multicultural Celebrations in the Workplace
Connection and respect begins with education when it comes to multicultural work spaces. Encourage employees to socialize and learn about different cultural events through celebrations like potlucks. These events aren’t just great for building staff goodwill, they also allow participants to proudly show off aspects of their culture in a safe and supportive environment. “[Our] lawyers & support staff are tremendously supportive in terms of professional goals and personal life” shares Diamond and Diamond lawyer, Derryl Singer.
6. Make Diversity Part of the Hiring Process
Diversity shouldn’t be an afterthought within your work team: it needs to be a crucial part of the hiring and onboarding process as well. One of the best ways to achieve diversity growth in the workplace is, unsurprisingly, to introduce it from the start. Working with an agency or recruitment firm that specializes in diversity hiring is an excellent first step if you’re unsure where to start. Once you begin to take interviews, proactively ask about their needs for accommodation: equipment and access, a flexible schedule for family needs or medical appointments, and so on.
7. Secure Support Services / EAPS
A workplace represents a significant portion of an applicant / employee’s waking hours, so an employer that provides thoughtful accommodations is one that will be viewed in a favourable light. Work with employees in need to procure and provide resources for disability needs, cultural needs, and so on. This may be as simple as connecting them with organizations designed to help or as active as creating your own support systems within the workplace to do so.
8. Embrace an Attitude of Ongoing Education
Again, never believe that you’ve “gotten it” and don’t need to worry about diversity anymore: it should be treated as a verb, not a noun. Hire diversity trainers to deliver sensitivity training within the workplace to make sure your entire staff is on the same page. Schedule “lunch and learn” events to provide employees with the perk of food while delivering important cultural sensitivity messages. It’s a strong move by leadership to demonstrate that the entire office should be on the same page in terms of positive attitudes on diversity.
9. Consider Adding a Gender Neutral Bathroom
Take away anxiety from transgender and gender nonconforming / non-binary employees by adding a gender-neutral bathroom. Listen to, remember, and use the pronouns each employee uses to refer to themselves, and make sure they know that they have the support of leadership and fellow employees in the same vein. This will make their workplace feel inviting and inclusive, with a bonus of giving your company access to incredible talent that many close-minded offices have turned away for bigoted (and illegal) reasons.
Think of these nine ideas as a “jumping off point” for increasing diversity recognition in the workplace. Each employee and member of management should be celebrated and honoured for their differences, even as they come together to work on the same projects. The central theme through all initiatives is simple: listen and observe with respect and admiration of your staff will follow close behind.
The semi-detached Victorian home at 416 Euclid Ave. won’t be available for long — the owners only want to rent it out until April 30. The furnished house is listed for $7,500 a month, including gas and hydro as well as cable, internet and weekly cleaning services. Built in 1890, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom abode in Little Italy balances heritage character with a redone kitchen and creative layout.
There are fine crown mouldings in the hall, and the hardwood floor continues through much of the house.
The main-floor living room has big bay windows and shows off the owners’ art collection, which is scattered throughout the 3,000-square-foot house.
A set of French doors connects the living space with the dining and kitchen area.
The updated kitchen has some elegant built-in cabinetry and a utility sink, perfect for families or inspired home cooks.
The dining room table is just off the kitchen, which is great for entertaining.
There’s only one bathroom on the second floor, but it’s big enough to fit a claw-foot tub and spacious shower.
Two rooms were combined to make the spacious master suite.
The other second-level bedroom has a large window and trundle bed for extra storage.
The third-floor loft space is being used as a third bedroom, but it could be repurposed as another living space. This floor also has its own bathroom.
The third floor sacrifices some living space for a terrace that measures about 250-square-feet.
Beyond the kitchen towards the back of the house, there’s an office space that lets out onto the back porch.
There’s no shortage of seating under the shade of a tree in the backyard, and a detached two-car garage is accessible from here.
This semi-detached home at 416 Euclid Ave. is listed with Lina and Francesco Porretta at Forest Hill Real Estate Inc.
Parenting columnist Joanne Kates is an expert educator in the areas of conflict mediation, self-esteem and anti-bullying, and she is the director of Camp Arowhon in Algonquin Park.
When you think it’s finally gotten easier, you’ve got it right, parenting throws another curve. It’s always like that. Hard.
Just when we thought the nicotine monster was licked, here comes Juul. And not only does it come, but e-cigarettes are believed to be causing serious, sometimes fatal, lung diseases. And we thought we had kids’ lungs protected because with so much education in schools about the dangers of cigarette smoking, it had declined dramatically among young people.
We’re not collecting data about vaping in Canada (as per usual) but in the U.S., 21 per cent of high school students vape. From 2017 to 2018 e-cigarette use increased 79 per cent among high school students in the U.S.: 79 per cent! And still rising.
Even minus the lung disease issue — which is terrifying — there’s a problem here. Vaping is a lifestyle for teens. It’s much more to them than a cute little battery-operated toy. Vaping has become a signifier of coolness — precisely the way smoking cigarettes made you cool till the 1980s. Like so many things teens love to do, the herd has adopted vaping. And we know the herd talks louder than parents. So the cool factor is our primary problem.
Problem two is addiction. We were lulled into believing that vapes were safer than cigarettes because users don’t inhale smoke into their lungs, but rather vapour. Nice job on that one, Juul Labs. What we forgot (again, thank you Juul ads) was that even if people vape nicotine, they still get addicted to it.
In principle, addiction is a bad thing. In practice, it’s become pernicious.
Schools are up in arms about vaping because kids are doing it all the time. Teachers are saying that kids are so addicted they can’t go 15 minutes without a hit — so they sneak it in school. Kids are standing binders up on their desks and vaping behind them. Stashing the vape in their sleeves and vaping in class, exhaling back into their sleeves. Hiding them in pencil cases, sweatpant waistbands, bras and headbands. And taking a hit when the teacher isn’t looking, knowing that the vapour they exhale dissipates fast. And because they need it: this is what nicotine addiction looks like.
So many kids are vaping in school washroom cubicles that some schools are taking the doors off the cubicles.Some schools are so tired of the sleeve trick that they’re making students roll up their sleeves to the elbow before entering school. Royal St. George’s in Toronto is so fed up that it’s established a “no vaping zone” from Dupont to Bloor Street.
The question for parents is this: How do we keep our kids safe from nicotine addiction delivered in a too-cool pen?
The answer, as usual, is that prohibition won’t work. It sets up the us-against-them dynamic that causes teens to lie to us to protect their habit. At which point there’s no conversation.
To create the conversation about vaping, use three times as many questions as statements: Try these: What do you think about vaping as opposed to smoking? Is it better? Is vaping fun? Do people think it’s cool? How about the problems with it? Can you get addicted to nicotine? Is that scary? What do you think about all that?
As for preaching about the dangers of vaping: Resist, resist, resist. Of course you’d be right, but our parenting goal is not to be right. It’s to be heard. And the irony of that goal is that it is best attained by doing more listening than speaking.
Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle is no stranger to Canadian fashion designers. She often wears pieces from Canadian label Aritzia. She announced her engagement in a coat from Toronto’s Line the Label. And, like her sister-in-law, she is a fan of Smythe jackets. On top of all this Canadian love, an outerwear brand she often goes back to is Sentaler.
Most recently, she wore one of her first Sentaler coats from the 2015 collection to the 91st Field of Remembrance ceremony at London’s Westminster Abbey. The Duchess chose this long, wide collar wrap coat in a midnight navy for this occasion.
She attended the ceremony alongside her husband, the Duke of Sussex, and hundreds of veterans and their families. Those in attendance stood in silence for two minutes to honour those who lost their lives in service of their country. Both the Duke and Duchess planted a cross in the field to represent a member of the Armed Forces who gave their life. Members of the Armed Forces and the public will fill the field with crosses in the coming days.
Though the coat is from an older collection, Sentaler is re-releasing it for those eager to mimic Markle’s style. It is currently available for pre-order for $1,995. Sentaler coats are known for their use of alpaca wool as well as their signature ribbed sleeve detailing.
The designer, Bojana Sentaler, started the line after a chance meeting with Karl Lagerfeld. Growing up in Toronto, she is no stranger to Canadian winters and knows the importance of a warm coat. She also spent some time in Peru where she discovered alpaca fabric and chose to use it for her line of luxury outerwear.
The alpacas are sheared in an ethical way as the animals are protected by the Peruvian government. Sentaler is also a fair trade company that works with and supports Peruvian families.
Ghost Quartet was created by American playwright and composer Dave Malloy. It hit off-off-Broadway in 2014. The original 2015 off-Broadway production was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for Best Musical.
It is unconventional in the best sense of the word. And it seems safe to say the production is a theatrical cousin of otherworldly song cycles such as Soulpepper Theatre’s recent hit Spoon River.
The production is, in a word, fantastic. The talent on display from the show’s four stars —Beau Dixon, Hailey Gillis, Kira Guloien and Andrew Penner — is breathtaking.
The tiny space inside the Crow’s Theatre provides a fittingly moody atmosphere perfect for the creepy stories about to unfold on stage.
With inspiration coming from the era-defining 1979 album The Wall, the Toronto premiere of this trail-blazing production of Another Brick in the Wall: The Opera sets the poetic lyrics of British rock legend Roger Waters to a bold new operatic score by award-winning, Montreal-based composer Julien Bilodeau.
The production premiered at Opéra de Montréal as part of the city’s 375th-anniversary celebration, but long before then, Bilodeau was tasked with selling the idea to Waters, who originally scoffed at the idea. “He was very dismissive,” says Bilodeau, who convinced him to listen to some demos.
“It was pretty much the decisive moment of the project. He listened very carefully, and he was very surprised and moved. He turned around and looked at me, and said, OK you got it,” Bilodeau says. “From that moment, I would say, we’ve met three other times, but I was very free in my work. The only really big constraint was to follow the text, his text. So I didn’t add or subtract anything. It really is the text of the album.”
The eye-popping opera hybrid combines more than 100 Canadian artists, including a 51-piece orchestra. It runs at Meridian Hall, Nov. 13–14, 16–17 and 23.
Toronto playwright Jason Sherman’s latest work, Copy That, takes audiences behind the scenes of network television — always a ripe environment for satire and social commentary.
Four writers struggle to get their new cop show approved for production. When the team’s only black writer is roughed up by an actual cop, the fallout threatens to not only kill the show but expose the systemic racism at the heart of popular entertainment itself.
Iconic performer Cher returns to the city for a massive show at the Scotiabank Arena on Nov. 29 that is sure to be a glamorous, funky affair. Joining the Goddess of Pop will be Nile Rodgers and Chic, of “Le Freak” fame.
National Ballet Of Canada’s ‘Giselle’ opens their new season
Giselle will be one production that ballet lovers will not want to miss as it features principal dancer Greta Hodgkinson dancing the role of Giselle for a final time before she retires in March 2020.
She dances opposite one of her longtime National Ballet partners in principal dancer Guillaume Côté as Albrecht. Other principal dancers for this production include the incredible Sonia Rodriguez opposite Francesco Gabriele Frola as well as Jillian Vanstone, Heather Ogden and Brendan Saye.
This season also celebrates artistic director Karen Kain’s 50th anniversary with the company.
We are sharing the inside scoop on Toronto’s secret dining scene. In part two, we explore the city’s most secluded dining rooms and top secret dinners. Whether it’s a one-night-only supper club or a private dinner inside a butcher shop, we’ve got the scoop. Here is a list of the best chef’s tables, supper clubs and wine cellars that double as private dining rooms.
FRONT ROW SEATS
Dine in style with these chef’s table experiences
It’s fitting that the most coveted table in the house at butcher shop-cum-restaurant Côte de Boeuf is the butcher’s table itself. Nestled in the shop’s narrow rear, the butcher’s table hosts groups of six to eight people. Those lucky enough to snag this in-demand spot are in for a memorable set menu that includes charcuterie, family-style entrees and the restaurant’s namesake: a dry-aged côte de boeuf. 130 Ossington Ave.
Landmark north-of-the-core restaurant Terra features a changing seasonal menu that ranges from pasta to seafood and steaks. The restaurant houses a variety of private dining areas, but smaller groups will want to opt for the chef’s table, offering a view of the bustling kitchen. Settle in and start making your way through the restaurant’s Wine Spectator–recognized wine list. 8199 Yonge St.

FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY
Sup with a select sect at these secret dinner clubs and pop-ups
Critical darling Charlie’s Burgers is a bucket list dining experience for many culinarily inclined Canadians. Each pop-up features noteworthy chefs and outstanding wines in unique locales. Every evening is structured around a theme, with guest chefs, like Patrick Kriss and Rob Gentile, creating the menu. Location varies.
L.U.S.T.(that’s Luke’s Underground Supper Table) is the brainchild of chef Luke Hayes-Alexander. Each dinner is hosted in a new location that is kept secret until two days before the event. Hayes-Alexander crafts a four- to five-course meal based on a theme and creates a related music lineup to set the tone. Location varies.
Each event in chef Massimo Bruno’s long-running Italian Supper Club introduces diners to one of Italy’s 20 different culinary regions. Originally from the Puglia region of the Bel paese, Bruno hosts around 30 guests in his Liberty Village cooking studio for a convivial, BYOB family-style dinner. 66 Fraser Ave.
BOTTLED UP
Nosh surrounded by T.O.’s best bottles in these wine cellar dining rooms
When you’re tucking in to some of the city’s best steak, it’s a bonus to have equally excellent wine close at hand. Barberian’s has you covered in its dramatic wine cellar dining room, which sees diners feasting on steak house classics surrounded by the restaurant’s thousand-bottle-deep collection of wine. 7 Elm St.
Dining venues don’t get much more atmospheric than Gusto 101’s basement wine cellar. Walls lined with rustic wine barrels provide the backdrop for intimate group dinners. Opt to order the Nonna’s Sharing Menu, a family-style feast that gives you the chance to sample a selection of the restaurant’s signature dishes. 101 Portland St.
The wood-clad wine cellar of this Italian restaurant on Dundas West is an inviting spot for groups of eight to 14 people. The food at Enoteca Sociale is as exceptional as the setting, with the restaurant’s Roman cuisine interpreted as a family-style dinner covering all the essential courses, from formaggi to dolci. 1288 Dundas St. W.

Could Jen Agg put a foot wrong if she tried? From the day it opened in mid-September, her Bar Vendetta was an instant hit, people spilling onto the sidewalk waiting for tables. No reservations. Closed Fridays and Saturdays!
Could she have more gall?
She will, after this latest success. It is a sweet little Dundas West empire Ms. Agg has built herself. You waiting for a text to say your table is open? Quaff local. The Agg machine: Next door is her husband’s Rhum Corner bar with Haitian snacks. Across the street is Cocktail Bar, where her Vendetta staff use the kitchen to prep dinner.
’Cause the Vendetta kitchen, behind the bar, is about as big as my bathroom. Sit at the bar and watch speed demon chef James Santon. He double-fists two different portions of pasta in their own strainers, tosses each into its own fry pan, throws in crisped guanciale, pesto made from puréed broccolini with anchovies and garlic, a few mushrooms, grates some taleggio on top, and shazam, the trecce is one of the best pasta dishes in town. Another frying pan gets a fast fistful of cherry tomatoes, a quick mash with a potato masher, basil and ricotta salata to turn spaghetti glam. Crown cacio e pepe is one big overgrown house-made crown pasta stuffed with ricotta, classically sauced and wonderful.
Crown cacio e pepe at Bar Vendetta
But the best thing about Vendetta is not the pasta. Or the meatballs, maybe the best in town of the genre — garlicky, soft, bathed in intense tomato sauce. But it’s not about the meatballs.
It’s the vibe, purposefully, carefully, knowingly curated by Jen Agg in painstaking detail. For she is the queen of cool, the dominatrix of the downtown scene. She does not bother with fancy. Paper napkins, cheap vinyl chairs, ordinary bar stools. A small narrow room that was once the Black Hoof has morphed into a retro bar, Agg’s take on a ’70s suburban basement.
If anybody else made this it would feel forced. In her hands it is the scene du jour, the place to be, the funster hangout. It’s not the retro orange, brown and cream colour block flooring or the old band posters or the Spy murals that make the place work. No, Vendetta is a cult of personality: hers.
It doesn’t hurt that Ms. Agg habitually trains her staff to be superbly affable, helpful and in the know. Same as at her Grey Gardens and Le Swan. The staff bring the party. Plus the très cool cocktails and a serious wine list.
The Bar Vendetta interior
Other than the fabulous pasta, Vendetta’s food is uneven. Bruschetta made with lightly preserved cherry tomatoes sits on very smoked ricotta. Too smoked for the tomatoes.
Scallop diavolo is also a little out of balance — too much fennel and too many serrano and jalapeno chilies with too few scallops, albeit in a charming tomato vinegar and oil dressing.
But is it a good restaurant? Do you need to go there? I still haven’t answered that question. Because Jen Agg is a trickster, the scenester artist who made yet another piece of restaurant art. She is, despite her deceptively casual style, a champ at staff training and management, so that the servers and bartenders at Vendetta are all super smooth, professional and downright fun. She doesn’t need the best food in town.
When it comes to animation, Patrick O’Keefe is a big deal. As the art director for the groundbreaking movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, he recently won an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
The Toronto artist recently announced that he was creating an art scholarship to help a student learn animation. He chose the place where he first developed his skills — the Animation Portfolio Workshop on St. Clair Avenue West.
“For years I’ve thought about wanting to give something back to the arts community,” says O’Keefe, who now lives in Los Angeles, where he works at Sony Pictures Animation.
“Growing up in Toronto, I had so many great mentors and teachers and leadership around me. It just felt like now that I’ve attained some success it was time for me to do the right thing and give back.”
The student who meets all the criteria will be awarded a full scholarship. As well, the student will get art supplies and a monthly Skype check-in session with O’Keefe himself.
“I really want to get to know that artist and go beyond the program and find out their hopes and dreams. And I want to help them achieve those things.”
Before O’Keefe moved out west and began his career at EA Games, followed by Sony Pictures. He was busy working on his art, drawing and painting up a storm, somewhat illegally, in the laneways of Toronto.
The Northern Secondary student even got a visit at his home from a couple of Toronto Police Service’s finest. But it wasn’t the only wake-up call he received that day.
“Early on, the first real gig I got was also the day the Toronto police showed up to my house wanting to arrest me for doing graffiti. I also got a phone call from the Canada Arts Council,” he says. “They wanted to send me to the East Coast, where my father lives, to work with delinquent children to teach them how to paint murals.”
While at Northern, a former art teacher suggested he focus his artistic talents, and O’Keefe found the Animation Portfolio Workshop.
“That was my first big step, taking it beyond the standard curriculum,” he says. “I was taking it seriously doing it at night and on weekends. And it got me into the arts community. And from there, I started taking classes at OCAD, and getting to know more artists.”
While attending Sheridan College for art and animation, he met and followed the woman he would eventually marry out west to British Columbia, continuing his studies at Emily Carr University.
He then began his career as a storyboard artist for Bardel Entertainment before EA Games, Disney and Sony. It was at Sony where he had his big moment as art director of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
“Seeing that come together was special. I never thought it would reach the heights it did,” he says.
“I thought maybe more of a cult classic, something the arts community would really embrace but not the larger mainstream audience. But then when it did, it was such an unbelievable sense of relief and excitement. It’ssatisfying to know people have enjoyed something we all put our hearts into for so long.”
Oliver & Bonacini, the restaurant group behind Auberge du Pommier and Maison Selby, expands its exceptional roster of restaurants with the opening of BABEL at Bayview and York Mills. Opened Nov. 1, the Mediterranean restaurant has an emphasis on dishes cooked on a massive open hearth in the centre of the space.
One of Montreal’s most popular vegan restaurants,LOV, (620 King St.W.) has opened its first Toronto location. This restaurant bring whimsy to meat-and-dairy-free cuisine with riffs on classic dishes, like the not a cheese plate. The bright elegant dining room is a perfect pair for the elevated vegan menu.
A rendering of Lapinou’s new space
LAPINOU(642 King St. W.) brings bistro-influenced eats and wine to King West. The menu draws inspiration from culinary regions across France, reinterpreting French cooking techniques using local Ontario ingredients. Following the same theme, the wine list features plenty of French wines along with global varieties, including interesting Indigenous and organic bottles.
After shuttering the doors on Adelaide Street at the end of 2018, HY’S STEAKHOUSE (365 Bay St.) is returning to downtown in a massive space on Bay Street. Hy’s has a 40-year history in Toronto, with the new, 350-seat space offering its signature Canadian prime steaks and other timeless classics.
Popular Bloor West brunch spot THE GOOD FORK has relocated in new digs at Dundas West and Dufferin. In addition to bringing back it’s beloved brunch menu, the Good Fork is putting a fresh emphasis on its dinner program, with a creative menu that draws on the Middle Eastern heritage of the restaurant’s owners.
Purple potato pancakes at Chotto Matte
CHOTTO MATTE (161 Bay St.) is making weekends a little more wild with its new jungle-themed brunch, hosted every Saturday. Diners can tuck into a buffet plus three courses while enjoying performances and other events with a tropical spin. The restaurant’s signature Nikkei cuisine gets brunchified with dishes like purple potato pancakes and spinach truffle salad.
The Gusto 54 Restaurant Group brand expands eastward with the opening of GUSTO 501 (501 King St. E.).The five-level space features different dining experiences on each floor, including an open concept dining room, cocktail bar and seasonal rooftop patio. The menu focuses on contemporary Italian fare, including some dishes that will be familiar to fans of Gusto 101.
