With an unofficial start to summer, London has planned various activities for Londoners to enjoy with their families for the Victoria Day weekend.
Starting from the Poutine feast which has already begun from Thursday and is set to give Londoners a sweet and Savory weekend.
“London has been our regional 9 cities, a special city to us, we always have a good turnout. Last year we went somewhere downtown it didn’t work out as well as it should have. We are back in Victoria Park and we are ready to rock all events with poutines,” says Dave Conway, master of ceremonies, who talks about turnout and benefits these events make in London.
By commenting on the Significance of poutines he said, “Poutine is Canada’s icon dish, we put different toppings and make it better. We’ve got 50 different poutines here in London with us this weekend. London helped the feast as big as it is, a lot of our following comes from the London area.”
This feast will end on May 21, Sunday at 6 p.m.
