One rather important initiative in this round-up is AccessFest, a groundbreaking cultural festival by AccessNow and The City of Toronto, which establishes a new standard for inclusive public events through its comprehensive barrier-free design and programming.
In terms of exclusivity, The Balvenie announced its partnership with the Toronto Bovine Wine Club. The collaboration delivers an exquisite five-course dinner, complete with expert whisky pairings of the distillery’s rarest expressions.
In the beauty category, the June 2025 branding line-up calls attention to the adorably packaged and ultra-practical Olive & June x Bubble sets. Focusing on skin and nail care, this beauty line caters to Gen Z consumers with its aesthetic. It joins other youthful branding initiatives like the Gotham Greens x Sesame Workshop collaboration that caters to Gen Alpha and the Urban Outfitters retail concept for Gen Z.
