On June 22, 2025, Cantoo City hosted a Doodle Club pop-up at LifeTime Woodbridge, offering a relaxed, poolside art session for Aurora members. The event encouraged creativity and mental wellness through sketching and coloring in a casual, open setting. As part of Cantoo City’s growing Doodle Club series, the session highlighted the brand’s commitment to accessible, community-centered creative experiences in partnership with local organizations.
March 20, 2025 – Cantoo City proudly hosted its first Doodle Club pop-up pilot at Life Time Mississauga, offering a relaxed, creativity-based session designed to support mental wellness and build community.
Life Time Aurora members joined us in the Café for a one-hour session of sketching and coloring at their own pace. With no rules or expectations, the event gave members space to slow down, connect, and enjoy the creative process in a welcoming setting.
As a pilot program, this pop-up offered an opportunity to explore how creativity supports well-being. We are thankful to Life Time for partnering with a small business like ours to bring the idea to life—reflecting our shared commitment to wellness, connection, and personal growth.
We look forward to growing this program and bringing more creativity-centered experiences to communities across the region.
