House (Hausu)

📍 506 Bloor Street West · Toronto

How to describe Nobuhiko Obayashi’s indescribable 1977 movie House (Hausu) ? As a psychedelic ghost tale? A stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? An episode of Scooby-Doo as directed by Mario Bava? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip about a schoolgirl who travels with six classmates to her ailing aunt’s creaky country home and comes face-to-face with evil spirits, a demonic house cat, a bloodthirsty piano, and other ghoulish visions, all realized by Obayashi via mattes, animation, and collage effects. Equally absurd and nightmarish, House might have been beamed to Earth from some other planet. Never before available on home video in the United States, it’s one of the most exciting cult discoveries in years. In Japanese, with English subtitles.

ExperienceTO: University of Toronto Historical Tour

📍 Hart House · Toronto

Join us for the free-to-attend University of Toronto Historical Tour. About the University of Toronto: "What would become the University of Toronto (U of T) was founded as King's College by royal charter in 1827. The College was initially controlled by the government and the Church of England. In 1849, the institution was secularized, and, in 1850, became the nondenominational University of Toronto. The Anglicans responded by creating Trinity College in Toronto in 1851 (actually opening in 1852). In the 1850s the University of Toronto was reorganized and University College was created as its teaching arm. Structural changes encouraged other denominational colleges to federate with U of T: Victoria College (Methodist, founded 1841 in Cobourg) and St Michael's College (Roman Catholic, founded 1852 in Toronto by the Basilian Order) joined in 1890 and Trinity College in 1904. Each of them retained their university status to continue granting degrees in theology. During this period some of Toronto's theological colleges also federated with the university. Knox College (founded 1844), originally a Presbyterian seminary, affiliated with the university in 1885 and federated in 1890. Wycliffe College (Anglican, founded 1877) became a federated college in 1889. Emmanuel College (Methodist, founded 1836) became affiliated with the university as a United Church of Canada seminary in 1925, the year the United Church came into existence. Scarborough College, now U of T Scarborough, was first built in 1964 and then Erindale College, now U of T Mississauga, in 1966. Over the course of its history, the university has trained many famous Canadian personalities. Today, the university has more than 97,600 students studying in over 80 departments." ( The Canadian Encyclopedia ) Join us for a FREE, public walking tour that will be a good experience for anyone: whether you’re 8 or 80 years old, and whether you’re a curious local, solo traveler, backpacker, newcomer, or part of a group of friends. ABOUT Beginning in front of the Hart House Building's entrance facing Hart House Circle (7 Hart House Circle, Toronto, ON M5S 3H3), the interactive tour will be hosted by your guide Alex Rășcanu . The tour will focus on University of Toronto's history. The historical tour will conclude at a nearby coffee shop. WHEN Saturday, October 10, 2026 at 10:00am. The tour will last approximately 90 minutes. WHERE TO MEET The tour will start in front of the Hart House Building's entrance facing Hart House Circle (7 Hart House Circle, Toronto, ON M5S 3H3). WHERE IT ENDS This tour will end at a nearby coffee shop, where you can order coffee/tea/brunch and spend some more time speaking and connecting with fellow historical tour participants. FACILITATOR Alex Rășcanu is a Torontonian, a husband, a father of four, and an avid student of our city's history. Stay in touch with him on LinkedIn / X / Instagram / Facebook / YouTube .

Fry, Fold & Feast — Pakoras & Paranthas by Sargam Nayyar

📍 Centre for Social Innovation – Spadina · Toronto

A fun, hands-on foray into some classic Indian savoury snacks: crispy, gluten-free chickpea flour pakoras, and paranthas, delicious stuffed flatbreads. Along the way you'll also discover a bright and tangy chutney, and a fragrant mango pudding, all based on family recipes Sargam Nayyar grew up making. Pakoras For over a thousand years across the subcontinent, Indians have been frying up besan batter along with myriad ingredients and seasoning to create delicious snacks. Sargam will walk you through a few of the many versions and techniques out there — mixed vegetable, onion, and bread pakoras, stuffed vs. dipped — and explain what makes them work: how batter consistency and oil temperature decide whether they turn out crisp or greasy. We'll fry up a fresh batch, while you learn how to make a quick & easy homemade coriander and mint chutney to enjoy along side your fresh pakoras. Stuffed Paranthas Then it's your turn at the counter to make mini stuffed paranthas by hand, kneading the dough, working in ingredients, rolling and stuffing them with a filling of spiced potato, cauliflower, and paneer. You'll get a feel for the dough, and learn how much filling it can hold before it splits, and rolling it out evenly so nothing spills out on the tawa (griddle). Everyone will get to cook and enjoy the paranthas they make. Aamras We'll close with aamras, a simple but exquisite desert of silky mango pulp finished with a pinch of cardamom. —– BOOK NOW! – $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/cooking-class-fry-fold-feast-pakoras-paranthas-by-sargam-nayyar —– Sargam Nayyar is the founder of Pudina Kitchen, a Toronto-based food community built around Indian fusion cooking, supper clubs, and private events.

🎬Dear Lara
Sat · 13:00
Film & Screenings

Dear Lara

📍 506 Bloor Street West · Toronto

Dear Lara is a deeply personal documentary that exposes decades of sexual abuse and institutional complicity in the classical music world. The story begins in 2019, when renowned violinist Lara St. John speaks out about the sexual assault she endured as a 14-year-old student at the elite Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. After her story is published in The Philadelphia Inquirer, she is flooded with letters and outreach from fellow survivors. Determined to make these voices heard, Lara travels across North America and Europe to meet others who, like her, were failed by the very organizations meant to protect them. As these personal accounts accumulate, a pattern emerges of institutions shielding predators at the expense of the vulnerable. Blending unflinching testimony, investigative rigor, and a haunting original score, the film exposes ingrained practices of harm and cover-ups, rooted in power, silence, and the worship of reputation over justice. Supported by fellow musicians, journalists, students and activists pressing for accountability, Lara’s pursuit to illuminate this insidious pattern in the classical music world serves as both a reckoning from within and a rallying cry for cultural change, created by someone who lived an all-too-common ordeal and refused to look away. Join director and film subject Lara St. John for a special post-screening Q&A. TICKETS (+HST) General: $15 Members: $10, $8, FREE

Knocked Loose have become one of the most uncompromising and explosive forces in modern heavy music, earning a devoted following through relentless touring, blistering live performances, and their signature fusion of hardcore intensity and metallic aggression. Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, the band broke through with acclaimed releases and has since evolved into one of the genre’s most talked-about acts, appearing on major festival stages while staying true to their underground roots. Their latest album, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To, showcases Knocked Loose at their most ambitious and dynamic, blending crushing breakdowns, eerie atmospheres, and deeply personal themes of struggle, fear, and resilience. Fierce, emotional, and impossible to ignore, the band continues to push boundaries while delivering the raw energy and catharsis that have made their live shows unforgettable. Denzel Curry is one of hip-hop’s most dynamic and genre-defying artists, known for his explosive delivery, sharp lyricism, and high-energy performances. Hailing from South Florida, Curry first gained recognition through his underground mixtapes before breaking through with acclaimed projects including Imperial, TA13OO, ZUU, and Melt My Eyez See Your Future.

Nostalgia for the Light

📍 506 Bloor Street West · Toronto

Prix Chalais Winner, 2010 Cannes Film Festival Best Documentary Grand Prix, 2010 European Film Awards Top 10 Best Movies of 2010, Sight & Sound Master director Patricio Guzmán, famed for his political documentaries capturing the history and politics of Chile ( The Battle of Chile , Salvador Allende , The Pinochet Case ), travels 10,000 feet above sea level to the driest place on earth. Atop the mountains of the Atacama Desert, astronomers from all over the world gather to observe the stars. The sky is so translucent that it allows them to see right to the boundaries of the universe. The Atacama Desert is also a place where the harsh heat of the sun keeps human remains intact: those of Pre-Columbian mummies; 19th century explorers and miners; and the remains of political prisoners, disappeared by the Chilean army after the military coup of September 11, 1973. While astronomers examine the most distant and oldest galaxies, at the foot of the mountains, women, surviving relatives of the disappeared whose bodies were dumped here, search, even after twenty-five years, for the remains of their loved ones, to reclaim their families’ histories. Melding the celestial quest of the astronomers and the earthly one of the Chilean women, Nostalgia for the Light is a gorgeous, moving, and deeply personal odyssey. In Spanish and English, with English subtitles. This is Jane's Staff Pick: Jane Hui Wang ( The Gardener and the Dictator) is an acclaimed filmmaker and one of our Cinema's managers on duty.

Cask Days celebrates its 20th edition this October at 282 Campbell Ave., future home of Bottega Volo’s second Toront o location. Twenty years after the first Cask Days was held on the patio of Bar Volo , Toronto's annual cask-conditioned beer festival returns October 16-18, 2026 with 100+ casks from breweries across Canada. The festival is a celebration of cask-conditioned beer, naturally carbonated, unfiltered and served straight from the cask. Once tapped, it has only a few days to be enjoyed in its prime. We call them Cask Days. The 2026 festival brings together 75+ breweries from Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Alberta and British Columbia, with casks travelling to Toronto from across the country. This year's festival was made possible in part with the support of Volo, Keep6 Imports , Mellon Brasserie, Slow Hand Beer Company, Blindman Brewing and Stillwell, who assisted with the regional consolidation of casks for their journey to Toronto. Each beer featured at Cask Days will be available as a single cask, making every pour a limited offering throughout the weekend. The complete 2026 cask list will be announced closer to the festival. Alongside cask-conditioned beer, the festival will feature natural wine from Keep6 Imports, cask cider, food, non-alcoholic options and music throughout the weekend. Tickets for Cask Days 2026 are on sale now exclusively online at caskdays.com GENERAL ADMISSION SESSIONS Session One : Friday, October 16 · 12PM–4PM · $50 Session Two : Friday, October 16 · 5PM–9PM · $50 Session Three : Saturday, October 17 · 12PM–4PM · $50 Session Four : Saturday, October 17 · 5PM–9PM · $50 Session Five : Sunday, October 18 · 12PM–6PM · $20 Sessions 1–4 are 19+ and include four food and drink tokens and an official Cask Days 2026 mug.

The Sandbox

📍 506 Bloor Street West · Toronto

In an age defined by mass migration, migrants and refugees stand among the world’s most vulnerable people. Yet their vulnerability is often weaponized, used as an excuse for surveillance and ever-expanding border technologies across land and sea and in the sky. In this urgent, artful debut, director Kenya-Jade Pinto pulls back the curtain on the border industrial machine, revealing how the very technologies sold as protection are used to control, intimidate and sometimes kill migrants and refugees. On the frontlines, people like investigative journalists Lydia Emmanouilidou and search-and-rescue volunteer James Holeman push back by challenging power, confronting brutality and offering a counterweight to the systems they expose. With masterful editing and gorgeous cinematography, The Sandbox is a stark, gripping wake-up call that reveals the human cost of systems of security. Aisha Jamal, Hot Docs Join director Kenya-Jade Pinto for a special post-screening Q&A. Kenya-Jade Pinto is an Indo-Kenyan-Canadian storyteller whose training as a lawyer has deepened her practice as a documentarian. Her hyphenated worldview informs her focus on the nuances of our shared human experience in an increasingly interconnected world. Kenya-Jade has participated in DOC Institute’s Breakthrough Program as well as Hot Docs’ Emerging Filmmaker Program and Incubator. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations, a Juris Doctor with a specialization in international law, and is a member of Women Photograph and Diversify Photo.

Elevated Apple Pie by Adelaide Page

📍 Centre for Social Innovation – Spadina · Toronto

Pie season is upon us! In this hands-on class, Adelaide Page teaches a wonderfully old-school method for making pie dough — no stand mixer or food processor required, just your hands, a bowl, and a few tricks that make all the difference. You'll learn the key principles behind a reliably great pie: how to work fat into flour for a properly flaky crust, how to build a filling that holds together instead of leaving a gap, and how to finish it your way — whether that's a classic solid crust, a decorative lattice, or a crumbly 'crisp' topping. In this class you'll be making a classic apple pie with a couple of tips to help craft a filling with a deeper, more complex flavour and reliable texture and consistency. Once your dough and filling are ready, you'll get to play: Adelaide will demo a few different lattice designs and decorative finishes, as well as a special oat blend for an apple 'crisp' finish — you choose which one to put on your own pie. And yes, there will be pie to taste in class, still warm from the oven. You'll leave with your own ready-to-bake 9″ apple pie, plus an extra batch of dough and/or crisp topping that you can take home and freeze for whenever the craving for fresh pie strikes again. —- BOOK NOW! – $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/cooking-class-elevated-apple-pie-by-adelaide-page —- Adelaide Page was born and raised on Toronto Island in a family with no other option but to have home cooked meals every night.

T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets – with Sophie Fiennes

📍 506 Bloor Street West · Toronto

Ralph Fiennes’s exquisite performance of T. S. Eliot's poetic masterpiece is dynamically translated from stage to screen by director Sophie Fiennes ( Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami , The Pervert’s Guide to Ideology ). During the early days of COVID, the Oscar® nominee set himself the challenge of committing Four Quartets to memory, and in 2021 he brought it to the London stage, followed by a tour of theatres across the UK. Written by Nobel Prize winner T.S. Eliot in the shadow of the Second World War, the poem is a searching examination of who and what we are. This celebrated meditation on human experience, time, and the divine offers up questions, imagery, and emotions that bear a powerful relevance to our present day. Join film and theatre critic Alex Heeney and director Sophie Fiennes for a virtual post-screening Q&A. TICKETS (+HST) General: $15 Members: $10, $8, FREE

DJ HEATHER b2b COLETTE [All Night Long]

📍 Wiggle Room Toronto · Toronto

Sat Oct 17: DJ HEATHER b2b COLETTE Opening beats by: Mr Haze HOUSE OF OM 20TH ANNIVERSARY: COLETTE B2B DJ HEATHER The 20th anniversary of the iconic House of OM: Colette & DJ Heather compilation marks a milestone for two pioneers of the electronic music scene. Released in June 2006 on OM Records, this double-disc mix became a definitive moment for Chicago house music, spotlighting the lifelong friendship and musical synergy of two of the genre's most formidable talents. Before they became global headliners, Colette and DJ Heather forged their bond in the fertile underground of 1990s Chicago, driven by a shared love for the city's signature four-on-the-floor sound. By the mid-2000s, both artists had been signed to San Francisco’s powerhouse label, OM Records, establishing themselves as heavy hitters who performed hundreds of shows annually. This culminated in the release of House of OM: Colette & DJ Heather. The double-album perfectly captured their complementary sonic identities: Disc 1 (Colette) sparkled with smooth, funky, vocal-heavy tracks, featuring her own performance on "All The Same" alongside contributions from Kaskade, Andy Caldwell, and Greenskeepers. Disc 2 (DJ Heather) delivered a deeper, instrumental-focused exploration of Chicago jack, featuring tracks from Inland Knights, Giom, and Mark Farina. The release was an instant underground and commercial favourite within the dance community, serving as a masterclass in track selection and seamless mixing. Following the release, the duo embarked on extensive North American tours with fellow OM label mates. The success of those shows laid the groundwork for their annual Second City Sessions tours, launched in 2009. This collaborative banner featured Colette and DJ Heather playing extended back-to-back sets, a tradition that has earned a massive, dedicated following over the decades. Reflecting on their long personal friendship and the 20-year legacy of the House of OM era, both artists have deep gratitude for their enduring partnership and appreciation for the compilation that changed the trajectory of their careers. To mark the anniversary alongside the OM Records 30th Anniversary celebrations, we're excited to bring them back to Toronto at Wiggle Room for a HOUSE OF OM 20-year extended set Advance Tickets: Early Wiggler: $25 The Wiggler: $30 Performances: 10-12:30 MR.HAZE & CEE BLAISE (Live Percussion) 12:30-close Colette b2b DJ Heather [live vocals | extended set] VJ SEKS #WiggleRoomToronto is the #HomeofBouncyBeats Options for prepaid table/ticket packages (ONE ticket = everything mentioned): 1) The 3rd Wheel: $363 Includes: 3 General Admissions; 1 Bottle of Stoli Vodka 2) Regular Package: $700 Includes: 6 General Admissions; 2 Regular Bottles of Choice (may email wigglyevents@gmail.com to specify choice) 3) Premium Package: $900 Includes: 6 General Admissions; 2 Premium Bottles of Choice (email wigglyevents@gmail.com to specify choice) To Arrange Special Packages: wigglyevents@gmail.com (sold separately from admission) ATM on site Full Bar Service 21+ event Hosted by: APT Entertainment; Wiggly Events; Wiggle Room Toronto; Sunshine Frequencies ~ WiGGLE RESPONSIBLY ~ We have a strict code of conduct and reserve the right to refuse anyone at any time.

Adaptive Concert: Charlotte Tang, fortepiano

📍 Living Arts Centre · Mississauga

Hear the piano as it once was—intimate, expressive, and alive. How did music sound 200 years ago? Step into a 19th-century drawing room and experience the piano as audiences once did—rich with imagination, nuance, and human connection. Performed on a historical fortepiano, this immersive concert brings to life beloved works by Chopin, Schubert, Liszt, Beethoven, Clara Schumann, and more. Audience members are invited to draw and respond creatively throughout the performance, making this concert a shared artistic experience. The performance is led by award-winning fortepianist Charlotte Tang, whose performances are shaped by deep research into the expressive possibilities of early pianos. A laureate of the 2024 Musica Antiqua Competition in Bruges and recipient of the 2025 Early Music America Emerging Artist Award, Tang reveals colours, textures, and emotional nuance rarely heard on modern instruments. Praised as an “expressive, fine chamber musician,” she brings both scholarly insight and artistic sensitivity to the stage—offering a vivid, intimate encounter with music history. This is more than a concert—it’s a journey into the sound world of the past. This adaptive music performance is being presented in a family-friendly, inclusive environment that embraces neurodiversity and disability. The performance will run up to 60 minutes and includes a Q&A session with the artists. Friendly Reminder: This is a scent-free concert. Please refrain bringing food and refrain from wearing perfume, cologne, scented lotions, body sprays, or other fragranced products, as members of our staff and performers have severe scent and food allergies.

Attune- A nervous system regulation experience

📍 98 Vanderhoof Avenue · Toronto

What if the reason you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, wired, disconnected or unable to fully switch off isn't that you need to try harder — but that your nervous system has been working overtime? We hear the words "nervous system regulation" everywhere right now. But what does that actually mean? How do you know when you're dysregulated? What is your body trying to tell you? And with so many different practices promising to help, how do you know what actually works for you? ATTUNE brings the conversation out of social media and into real life. Part education, part experience and part mini retreat, ATTUNE is an afternoon to understand your nervous system, experience different ways to regulate it and discover the practices that feel right for your body. HOW THE DAY FLOWS ARRIVE + EXPLORE Doors open at 11:30 AM. Settle in, explore the space, meet our wellness partners and practitioners, grab something to eat or drink and ease into the afternoon. EXPERT PANEL We begin by understanding what's happening beneath the surface. Our panel brings together experts from different areas of mental health and wellness to explore stress, dysregulation, burnout and the nervous system — including why so many of us struggle to switch off, how stress can show up physically and emotionally, and what we can actually do to support ourselves. MEET THE PANEL Sara Jackson — Psychotherapist, founder of The Practice and author of The Whisper . Sara brings more than two decades of experience in psychotherapy and mental health. Dr. Stephanie Canestraro — Chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner and founder of The Vagus Clinic, with a focus on the gut brain connection, the vagus nerve and whole body health. Dr. Shnier — Naturopathic Doctor bringing a functional and integrative perspective to stress, health and nervous system regulation. Faye Gold, RSW — Registered Social Worker, holistic health coach and somatic practitioner whose work brings together emotional well being, body awareness and sustainable wellness. Together, they'll explore nervous system regulation from four different perspectives — and help make a complicated topic feel practical and relevant to everyday life. CHOOSE YOUR REGULATION EXPERIENCES Then we move from understanding into experiencing. Choose two 45 minute guided sessions and explore different ways of working with your nervous system. Experiences include practices such as: • Yoga Nidra • Breathwork • Meditation • Journalling • Somatic practices There is no "best" way to regulate. The idea is to experience different modalities and begin noticing what your own body responds to. WANDER + DISCOVER Between sessions, the space is yours to explore. Your ATTUNE experience also includes: • Complimentary red light therapy • Complimentary ear seeding • Wellness activations throughout the space • A curated wellness market • Food and drinks • A curated swag bag • Time to connect with practitioners, experts and other guests COME TOGETHER We'll close the afternoon together with a live concert and collective experience — a chance to slow down, integrate and experience regulation through sound and connection. ATTUNE isn't about being calm all the time. And it isn't another day devoted to optimizing yourself or becoming "better" at handling an unsustainable pace. It's about becoming more attuned to yourself. To the signals your body has been sending you. To what activates you. To what settles you. And to the practices that help you find your way back. No previous experience with meditation, breathwork, somatics or nervous system work is needed. Come curious. Learn what's happening beneath the surface. Try different tools. Notice what works for your body. Because regulation isn't about being calm all the time. It's about knowing how to come back.

🎬The Theft

Film & Screenings

The Theft

📍 506 Bloor Street West · Toronto

The second feature documentary from Toronto-based Afghan-Canadian filmmaker Aisha Jamal ( A Kandahar Away , Hot Docs 2019 Official Selection), The Theft delves into the messy relationship between museums and conflict. Set against the backdrop of Afghanistan—a country whose rich cultural history has been repeatedly scarred by war and political upheaval—the film traces the journey of a set of 12th century marble panels, looted throughout the decades from their place of origin in Ghazni, Afghanistan. Many of these artifacts are now housed in major museums around the world. Their story becomes a lens through which the film asks pressing questions: Why do artifacts matter? What is lost when objects are removed from the cultures that gave them meaning? Should these panels now be returned to Afghanistan despite the current Taliban regime’s history of destruction? By weaving together the voices of curators, social actors, experts and artists across continents, The Theft engages in an urgent and contemporary conversation around what the postcolonial museum might look like. In English and Dari, with English subtitles. Join director Aisha Jamal for a special post-screening Q&A. TICKETS (+HST) General: $15 Members: $10, $8, FREE
