2. BIKE LANE BLITZ

Almost 300 tickets were handed out during the bike lane blitz. If you think you are off the hook now that the blitz is over, think again. Since January 2014 over 17,000 tickets have been issued to people who carelessly park in bike lanes.

3. GOVERNMENT VS TICKET SCALPERS

Don’t mess with Canada’s favourite band. The Attorney General is officially looking at the ticketing industry following The Tragically Hip Tour ticket scandal. She hopes the law can protect consumers from scalping bots and cap the cost of resales.

5. INDOOR FISHING

If you want to go fishing but cant make the commitment to get out of town, indoor fishing might be for you. The Gone Fishin’ event is back on Saturday at the Scadding Court Community Centre. They will drain all the chlorine and fill the pool with tap water and rainbow trout.

This is so weird, but I'm curious to try it… #swimmingpool #gonefishing https://t.co/WEL2TcbM37
