Little Peter and the Elegants
LP&E made its debut in 1973 at the Port Credit Secondary School Christmas assembly, performing I Wonder Why, Yakety Yak and Rock Around the Clock. The audience asked for an encore but the band didn’t know a 4th song! With Happy Days on TV in 1974, LP&E played two school dances and a concert. Through today, Peter Toller, the only original member, continues and considers it a privilege to have such fine musicians in the band.

South Etobicoke Brewers – “Craft Brewed West of the Humber”. Join the South Etobicoke Brewers for a day of delicious brews in the Craft Beer Garden. With a goal to highlight, educate and ultimately bring about awareness of all the wonderfully crafted beers being produced by talented men and women of Etobicoke.

Black Oak Brewing – Established in 1999 as one of Ontario’s original craft breweries, Black Oak Brewing helped revolutionize the craft beer industry.

Indie Alehouse – Indie Alehouse is a small, independent craft brewery, making big, flavourful ales in Toronto. We make and serve hard to find ales like a Belgian Sour, a Double IPA, or an English Porter.
Mascot Brewery – Focusing on craft being local, artisanal, community-driven and made from scratch, Mascot’s craft ethos goes beyond beer and is expressed as a lifestyle.
Von Bugle Brewery – Founded by the makers of Steam Whistle Pilsner, Von Bugle Brewing adheres to traditional European brewing techniques but with a bold mission – to make the most complex yet sessionable dark beer in Canada.
