We all know we should appreciate our dads every day of the year. But on Father’s Day this June 20, give your father, father-in-law or father figure some extra love and attention. Here are some ways to show your pop a good time this Dad’s Day, or in the days leading up.
Cars and barbecue, what more could dad want? Vonn Cycles and Number Seven Bar and Grill are teaming up to host an auto and motorcycle exhibition on Sun., May 30 at Vonn Cycles on Woodstream Boulevard near Martin Grove Road. Check out some nice rides and enjoy some good eats, all in support of Vitanova Foundation, a local drug treatment centre. For more information call Claudio at Vonn Cycle, 905-264-7735.
Tee off together: Spend some quality time with dad on the links at the 4th Annual Vaughan in Motion – Fore the Cure to Cancer Golf Tournament at RedCrest: Cardinal Golf Clubs, 17700 Keele St., Kettleby. June 10. For more information on this event contact 905-832-8298, email at info@vaughanin motion.com or visit www.vaughaninmotion.com.
For the eco guru: Go green with dad this month at the Windfall Ecology Festival at Fairy Lake in Newmarket, June 12 and 13. Learn about new environmentally friendly products, try local and organic foods or take in a few workshops. There’s a Kids Fun Zone, buskers and more. For more information visit www.windfallcentre.ca.
For the footy fan: Treat your pops to some soccer stadium fun. Toronto FC plays a couple home games at BMO field this month: June 2 against Vancouver, June 5 against the Wizards and June 26 against the LA Galaxy. Go to torontofc.ca for ticket info and game times. For footy fans who want to stay a little closer to home, the recently renamed York Region Shooters of the Canadian Soccer League play at St. Joan of Arc field on June 6 and June 20, both at 6 p.m. Visit italiashooters.ca for details.
Home, sweet Home (Depot): K, who doesn’t love a trip to Home Depot? I know my dad certainly does. Actually, it’s a Father’s Day tradition for my sisters and I to go to the friendly neighbourhood Depot with our daddy. It’s not usually for anything in particular, just for some father-daughter time and a look around. Take your dad on a shopping trip to Home Depot followed by lunch or a DIY project and he’ll be boasting to his buddies for sure. 140 Northview Dr. Woodbridge or 2375 Steeles Ave. West.
