5 things to do this weekend: Boo at the Zoo, craft beer & pro wrestling

As our regular CityNews.ca series continues, we look at events happening in the city for all ages and interests.

Oct. 26-28, 2012

For families: Discover trick-or-treat activity stations along the Toronto Zoo’s Pumpkin Trail while checking out Arctic wolves, foxes and polar bears. It’s all part of Boo at the Zoo this weekend. There’s also a Critters and Costumes Parade so make sure the kids are decked out in their best Halloween garb. Toronto Zoo. Saturday and Sunday. 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Kids 12 and under: free. http://www.torontozoo.ca/

For visitors: Just because the NHL can’t get its act together doesn’t mean you can’t find great hockey in the GTA. Future stars will be in action this weekend when the OHL’s Mississauga Steelheads host the Sudbury Wolves. Hershey Centre, 5500 Rose Cherry Pl. Mississauga. Sunday, 2 p.m. $15-$25. http://www.mississaugasteelheads.com/

For singles: Sample selections of cask-conditioned craft beer from 50 microbreweries across Canada at Cask Days 2012. Some international beers will also be represented, as well as specialty and seasonal offerings. Learn the tricks of the brewing trade at one of the event’s seminars, or stick to sipping the golden nectar. Evergreen Brick Works. Saturday, noon-midnight. Sunday, noon-5 p.m. $28.56-$70.37. http://caskdays.com/

For charity: Citytv’s J.C. Chessell will be one of several cancer survivors honoured for raising awareness at the 24th Annual Celebration of Hope – a fundraiser in support of the Markham Stouffville Hospital’s Breast Health Centre and Cancer Clinic. There will be a luncheon, fashion show and a live auction. Hilton Suites Markham Conference Centre. 8500 Warden Ave. 12:30 p.m.-3 p.m. http://hope.mshf.on.ca

For kicks: What’s more fun than watching muscle-bound bad guys turn their opponents into pretzels? If you’re into wrestling, it doesn’t get any better than live action and Smash Wrestling is ready to feed the fan frenzy when it hosts a live event this weekend. E-Zone, 120 North Queen St. Sunday, 5 p.m. $15. http://www.smash-wrestling.com/
