Halloween was yesterday, and the team at Todotoronto hopes you had a scary good time! Much like Linda Belcher, many people see November 1st as the end of the spooky season and the beginning of the holiday season, and one of the recurring themes of the season is family. Schools take their winter break, people get time off work, and family members come from all over the world to spend time with their loved ones. With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of some family-friendly activities that the whole crew can enjoy this month!
