The Weeknd made a stylish new video using the reference library and UTSC as backdrops (CBC Toronto)

Toronto native Abel Tesfaye, more commonly known as The Weeknd, released the music video for his new single "Secrets" from his latest album Starboy. The music video, set in Toronto, features a few local architectural treasures. Almost completely unrecognizable is the Toronto Reference Library — which definitely isn't used for reading or researching in this video. And the University of Toronto's Scarborough campus is also featured in a nod to where Tesfaye grew up.

New ROM exhibit, co-curated by northwestern Ontario painter, celebrates Indigenous art (CBC Thunder Bay)

A new Indigenous art exhibit has opened at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. The exhibit, Anishinaabeg: Art & Power, focuses on sharing Anishinaabeg history and culture through artwork such as paintings, beading and historical objects. Anishinaabeg: Art & Power was co-curated with North Caribou Lake First Nation artist Saul Williams. Some of the artwork featured dates back to the late 1800's, but the exhibit will also strive to include emerging Indigenous artists as well.

The Tragically Hip to receive Order of Canada (q)

On June 15th, it was announced in a statement by the Gov. Gen. David Johnston that all five members of The Tragically Hip would receive the Order of Canada. The band would be recognized "for their contribution to Canadian music and for their support of various social and environmental causes." It's well-deserved: Canada's top honour for Canada's band.

Montreal exhibit celebrating life and work of Leonard Cohen to open in November (CBC Montreal)

A Montreal exhibit will be opening this November in honour of the life and work of Leonard Cohen. The exhibit had initially been created with Cohen's blessing, although he had not wished to personally participate in the production itself. Following his death this past November, the planning has continued and the exhibit has become a celebration of his life. As chief curator John Zeppetelli puts it: "I cannot think of another figure from Montreal who has this kind of [resonance] throughout the world. What has the resonance that Leonard Cohen has?"

Barring the Bard: Should Shakespeare still be taught in schools? (The Current)

Shakespeare is a classic that has been taught in schools all around the world, and his presence in the classrom is hardly ever questioned. But recently, people have started questioning his work on both its relevance and importance in school curriculum. The Current spoke to several educators on the issue, and while some teachers believe in Shakespeare's importance and relevance — including the messages his work sends, some of which are described as "universal" — others want to see more diverse stories being told. One teacher, Melissa Campbell Schwartz, suggests students might study more written work by Indigenous authors. Our Facebook followers got in on the debate as well — feel free to join in!
