New year, new lockdown! Okay, jokes aside Toronto has officially entered its first day of the new lockdown and things have changed quickly. From hanging with friends in bars to transitioning to zoom dates, we’re back to where we started. Keeping a positive mindset is important in these times and we can at least be thankful that we know we’re able to get through this like we did before!
