Travel insider: Canadian art, fall foliage watch, Walt’s world
This week in colourful shows, tasty brews and magical sights
Art appreciation “Uninvited: Canadian Women Artists in the Modern Moment,” the latest exhibition at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, spotlights more than 200 works by Canadian women in the interwar period, a century ago.
Described as a “cross-country snapshot of female creativity,” the major new show includes pieces by settler and Indigenous artists, and will run until Jan. 16.
After that, the exhibition will travel onward to Calgary’s Glenbow (Feb. 19 to May 8).
Fall colours
It’s (almost) time for fall foliage in Ontario, though pinpointing the fleeting peak season of fiery leaves in any given area typically takes some guesswork. Unless, of course, you’ve bookmarked the regularly updated fall colour reports by Ontario Parks (ontarioparks.com/fallcolour), which come with intel on the best viewing spots, too.
Quebec brews
This year’s Mondial de la bière de Montréal (Oct. 7 to 10) will be an in-person festival,
held outdoors in the Rio Tinto
Courtyard at Windsor Station. The event will include more than 100 brews from across Quebec and beyond, with tickets available for three-hour sessions.
Walt’s world
On Oct. 1, Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., will kick off celebrations for its 50th anniversary. New attractions will include Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at Epcot (opening that same day), while a forthcoming Cirque du Soleil show called “Drawn to Life“will combine acrobatics with animation (premiering Nov. 18). For those not venturing down south soon, the anniversary events will roll out over 18 months.
