Community and coming together in times of crisis are lessons we can teach our kids during COVID-19 and in the future. Daniela and Michele Rumeo are passing these timeless messages in the form of a children's book entitled, "When the World Got Sick". Their original literary project was created as a way to explain to their own children how we as a community could help one another and learn to become a better and closer family during the pandemic.
For the first time, TD Salsa in Toronto is going virtual! TLN TV together with the Canadian Salsa Festivals Project (CSFP) are bringing the TD Salsa in Toronto festival to homes across Canada. Tune in July 18th & 19th for the digital festival experience. Join TLN TV's Instagram contest by posting a video showing us how you salsa! Go to TLNTV's IG for info and visit salsaintoronto.com.
