Check out the fifth annual Summer Scares list! 

This year Summer Scares welcomes New York Times Bestselling author, Daniel Kraus as their 2023 spokesperson. "My love of reading began at a public library — but I had to hunt for the horror," said Kraus. "I would have been giddy to have a slate like our 2023 choices presented to me when I walked in. I am, in fact, giddy about it right now. It's a tremendously far-reaching group of titles that epitomizes the breadth of creativity going on in the genre."

Chill out with summer cookbooks! From sizzling grills to frozen thrills, these recipes are your ticket to a summer filled with foodie fun.

Emancipation Day serves as a reminder of the abolishment of slavery in the British Empire and urges us to stand against anti-Black racism and discrimination while acknowledging and honouring the resilience of Black communities in Canada. 

Slavery didn't stop at the United States-Canada border: Canada has a troubling past of enslaving Indigenous and African individuals, a part of history that should not be overlooked.
