HUGE COSTUME LAUNCH DROPS ON THE SIX!

Louis Saldenah got it right, this long weekend is CELEBRATION TIME in Toronto. His Mas K Club and its hundreds and hundreds of supporters are going to be spending Saturday night and Sunday morning dancing, eating and watching a costume launch fashion show (and don't worry there is a bar).
"We have captured the Band of the Year 17-times," said Louis Saldenah. "We have brought the most spectacular parade presentations that Toronto has ever seen! This summer we are celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Carnival in Toronto and the 150th Anniversary of Canada."

Mas K is the largest carnival band in the country, bringing over 4,000 costumed revellers onto the parade route for the annual Toronto Caribbean Carnival. This Saturday they will be holding a giant launch party to show people what costumes are available to order for the parade. There will be a lot of choice - 15 sections will take turns on stage, showing the new looks for 2017.
The doors open at 9am Saturday. The party and Costume Launch stage show will run until the wee hours of Sunday. The evening is hosted by well-known DJ Eman with music provided by Dr. Jay, the Soca Prince.
CELEBRATION TIME takes place at the huge (1,400+ capacity) Chandni Grand Ballroom in Scarborough. 3895 McNicoll Avenue.
Admin: $20 in advance and more at the door. Saldenah@hotmail.com

Muppets, Puppets and Buckets Of Mucus at the Science Centre

Where in the world is Dr Jay?

William Doyle-Marshall interviews Dr. Jay and Dr. Julielynn Wong

Today he was at the Ontario Science Centre. Pictured, radio host William Doyle-Marshall interviews medical doctor Julielynn Wong and her puppet Dr. Jay. The two doctors were taking part in a special media family day at the Science Centre -- they were talking to the media and their children about public health care issues during their visit to a new children's health exhibition at the Toronto facility.

Julielynn Wong is a Harvard-educated, award-winning physician and journalist. Dr. Wong trained in public health and preventive medicine and serves on faculty at Singularity University, where she co-founded the Health and Wellness Program. She is a blogger for Huffington Post.

And Dr Jay?  Dr Wong says he is originally from New York City and now lives in a large suitcase here in Toronto. Dr. Jay will have his radio debut on William Doyle-Marshall's CHYR-fm show this Tuesday (spoiler alert - Dr Jay isn't much for radio -- he lets Dr Wong do all the talking).

The media family day was in conjunction with The Science Centre's newly opened exhibition -- the Body -- which is being stage in concert with the long running Sesame Street TV Show. 

Created by Sesame Workshop, Sesame Street Presents: The Body is an engaging, free-flowing learning experience set in the fun, familiar and reassuring world of Sesame Street. The Muppets anchor an exciting collection of interactive multimedia experiences that allow children to study the human body and learn how to keep it healthy. Each exhibit area has multiple activities to provide exciting, age-appropriate learning opportunities for children at a variety of developmental levels. The exhibition emphasizes scientific investigation and developmental learning goals for children ranging from two to eight years old.

From big, squishy noses to fuzzy, furry feet, Sesame Street Presents: The Body allows children to learn about the human body from the inside out. Pictured is a giant nose and a bucket of mucus - all part of an interactive display within the Body exhibition.
