2 h. ago First Toronto location of Calgary restaurant chain finally opening next month

The highly anticipated Toronto location of a popular Canadian bar and restaurant chain is finally opening next month.It's been nearly a year since the stylish Calgary restaurant chain Central Taps announced that it'd be taking over the Ossington space that once housed the iconic Venezia Bakery, before going virtually silent.The city wondered when, if ever, they'd get to experience it for themselves.As time went on, the initially projected "early 2025" opening date became increasingly harder to believe in, until, finally, over halfway through 2025, the chain broke its silence on the Toronto location's developments, sharing an official opening date for Central Toronto Ossington.Hey, nothing worth having ever arrives on time, does it?

Rates for the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) will jump in July, putting a bit more money in the pockets of eligible low-income, working-age provincial residents living with a disability.The provincial government's ODSP benefits pay out up to $1,368 per month for basic needs, such as food, shelter, prescription drugs, and vision care per single person as of June 2025, a number that will increase by 2.8 per cent on July 1.Starting in July, ODSP recipients will be paid out as much as $1,408 monthly — though some recipients may receive more to accommodate the needs of immediate family, transportation to medical appointments, and other factors.So, essentially, recipients will — even in the best-case scenario — receive an additional $40, a sum unlikely to make a significant impact for anyone struggling amid a cost-of-living crisis in Ontario.A release from the province touts the bump in payouts as "the fourth rate increase since we tied ODSP rates to ...
