Support Mental Health Awareness
A sound mind is just as important as a sound body. While physical health in terms of diet and exercise is a regularly-discussed thing, mental illness continues to be a taboo subject that people rarely discuss with each other. It's considered awkward to discuss getting help with a friend or family member, or uncomfortable to talk openly about psychiatric struggles. But you'd be very surprised to learn how many people - friends, lovers, family members, co-workers - suffer from various sorts of mental illnesses, and the range of effects it can have on one's life. Raise awareness and do what you can: take the pledge here.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE

Only $8 for students, FNL@ROM includes an Earth Weekend celebration, movies curated by Hot Docs film festival, a Harricana Fashion trunk show, a feature photography exhibit in partnership with Scotiabank's CONTACT Photography Festival, and even a chance to grab a drink in the Rec Room Photo Lounge and step in front of the camera to create your own works of art! A cocktails and cabaret event takes place on May 18th, live local music on May 25th, a hockey-themed, Canada-centered performance on June 1st, and (what?!) on June 8th there will be a Yoga Rave - yes, I just said that - in the Rom Rec Room: Lululemon yoga with a trance-spinning DJ. Party with the dinosaurs here!
And finally, if you're just looking to party...Then I'd suggest Stirling Room in the Distillery District for socialites and networkers (guestlist only event, Victorian decor, complimentary Hennessey Black tasting, and sophisticated style code in full effect) and Dzeko&Torres this Saturday at The Hoxton for the serious partiers...
