A Toronto business is looking to its community for support as the family behind its operations faces two challenging health battles. The Gargoyle is a collectibles store that's been selling toys, comics, and cars to vintage collectors and pop culture enthusiasts for seven years.

Desk dining is becoming normal in offices all across Toronto, but it’s actually pretty bad for your health and your productivity.Here’s why.The numbers don’t lieA survey commissioned by Factor and executed by The Harris Poll shows a stark reality. 61 per cent of Canadians are skipping lunch, and nearly half of these report feelings of reduced energy, lower productivity, and trouble focusing.But that doesn’t mean Canadians don’t want lunch.
