Boreal Live in the Green Sanderson Hall at Hugh's Room, 296 Broadview AvenueShow at 8pm, Doors at 7pm$35+ in advance, $42+at the door
Boreal is a powerhouse trio of Canadian singer-songwriters—Tannis Slimmon, Angie Nussey, and Katherine Wheatley. Their new album, “Winterbirds” (March 2025), has earned them Canadian Folk Music Award nominations for Album of the Year, Ensemble of the Year, and Vocal Group of the Year.
Katherine brings warmth, colour, and rhythm on guitar; Tannis holds the heartbeat on percussion, mandolin, and guitar; and Angie adds rich textures on keyboard. With no designated lead singer, Boreal rotates the spotlight, offering a fresh approach to every song through thoughtful arrangements and harmonies.
Their music weaves three distinct voices—Katherine’s is deep, steady and rooted in earthy folk; Tannis’s is ethereal, improvisational and explores sacred soundscapes; Angie is the emotional, untamed force. When they write and arrange their songs, they take advantage of these differences. The result is a unique sound that's as cohesive as it is surprising.
With roots in Manitoba, Parry Sound, and Sudbury, Ontario, Boreal carries the stories of the places that shaped them, the people who touched their hearts, and the music that uplifts their spirits. 
“I’m rarely speechless… That was so moving — oh, my heavens! Unbelievably beautiful!” — Rob Dutton, The Grand 101.1 FM
“...three wonderful writers in this band, and three beautiful voices…Magical’s the word. I was transported.” — David Francey

 Our journey starts at the St. Lawrence Market, Toronto’s historic marketplace dating back over 200 years.
 First up, we’ll visit a local fish market where you’ll sample wild-caught sockeye salmon cured in Canadian maple syrup.
 Then we'll visit a pub known for making one of the best versions of the "peameal bacon sandwich", also known as Canadian bacon.
 Next, you'll indulge in a popular no-bake dessert whose origin is shrouded in mystery.
 After leaving the market, you'll unearth an Indian-inspired dish that has taken Toronto by surprise and is now a staple of the city's street food scene.
 And for a great end, you'll devour the mouth-watering goodness of a classic Canadian pastry, the famous Butter Tart.
 As with all our tours, there's our delicious Secret Dish.

Why the St. Lawrence Market?
As Toronto's oldest market, the St. Lawrence Market's property has had a market as early as 1803. The building itself has many of its original structures still in place from 1845. We chose this spot as our main focal point on our tour because it still remains a place for history, culture and is a part of Toronto's identity.
The area that was built around this market is reflective of how old and new can coexist in cuisine, architecture and history. This is the best place to discover some of Toronto's finest cuisine at the same time as learn more about the city's fascinating history!
