How Ontario musicians and their fans are struggling under COVID-19

Page Street, a usually quiet place in Toronto just south of Bloor, was not so quiet on Saturday August 1, thanks to Dov Beck-Levine and his band Dov’s Scrambled Jazz Eggs. Beck-Levine and his six-piece band held a live performance outside of his family’s home. His friends and neighbours were able to enjoy the music after the musician decided it was safe to hold a show where audience members wore masks and were seated six feet apart. The performers also stayed six feet apart. The drummer was especially far away from the others: he was playing on the porch.

Terry Fox Holds New Relevance in Indigenous Communities

An Indigenous activist participated in her first-ever Terry Fox run Sunday in Kagawong, a town on Manitoulin Island, in central Ontario.

Caeley Genereux, 20, was running for Indigenous community members that have lost their lives due to cancer.
“I will be thinking about my family members who have passed away to cancer. And I will also be thinking about my community. I’ll be running for them, as well,” she said in an interview before the run day.
