Sudbury Poutine Fest returns

A Canadian classic is on the menu & the star of the show this weekend in Sudbury as Poutine Fest returned to Bell Park. Good food is on the agenda this weekend in Greater Sudbury as Poutine Fest returns to Bell Park. The Canadian classic is on the menu and the star of the show during the annual three day festival. Enjoy all the gravy and cheese you could hope for and more until 6 p.m. on Sunday. 'We have all different kinds of food and drink vendors here bring you squeaky cheese, cheese curds, fresh cheese, melted cheese, anything you can put on poutine we got it,' said event organizer Kelsey Cutinello. The festival features live music throughout the three days. 'We have live entertainment all weekend and we have the AC/DC show this evening. It is a free concert and it runs until 10 p.m,' 'Tomorrow on Sunday it runs until 6 p.m.' Admission and parking are free for the event – including all of the live entertainment at the Grace Hartman Amphitheatre. 'However, we are raising money for charities, organizations and causes,' said organizers. 'Please look for our Donations tent in order to give a little and help out a great cause.' Partial proceeds from the festival will also be donated to local charities. The event also features a fully licensed beer garden and a vendor village with booths hosted by Cambrian College, CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind), Costco and more. The public is asked not to bring outside food & drink, lawn chair, beach umbrellas or coolers. In previous years more than 25,000 poutines have been sold at the event.

Fate of next year's Vancouver dragon boat festival in doubt due to FIFA World Cup, organizers say

The organizers of the Concord Pacific Dragon Boat Festival in Vancouver say it appears next year's races will be cancelled because of rules surrounding the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Dominic Lai of Dragon Boat B.C. says Vancouver's host city agreement with FIFA prohibits cultural and sporting events in the city within a certain time frame and restricts events within a certain radius of B.C. Place, which is set to host seven World Cup matches between June 13 and July 7. The event, which organizers describe as North America's largest dragon boat festival, takes place in False Creek, a short distance from B.C. Place, usually around the summer solstice. "We tried to come up with alternate solutions, and we presented these solutions to the city and the province," Lai said. "But ultimately, we still haven't got any confirmation of any type of support for it, and we're in a tough place." Lai says organizers are working with the city and province in search of a solution, but as it stands, they face a financial deficit. The City of Vancouver says it is collaborating with organizers of sporting and cultural events taking place between June 4 and July 14 "to ensure that events don't conflict geographically, and that there are sufficient City resources to support a safe environment for all to enjoy." The city also said it is working with event organizers and FIFA to minimize impacts, and it expects "most annual events to proceed in some form, though some may see adjustments in timing, location or scale." A statement from B.C.'s Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture says the province "is aware that this event is impacted by the World Cup and understands that major events can create challenges for communities — sometimes requiring established events to change timing or location, and we appreciate how difficult those adjustments can be." Lai says adjustments mean Dragon Boat B.C. faces a financial deficit, and poses existential questions. "FIFA is a behemoth. It will do what it does. It's the world's largest sporting event for a reason, and they have a standard of excellence they need to deliver on," he said.
