Despite spring's glorious arrival, we're not out of the woods with COVID yet, folks. This Easter weekend, it's time to make like a rabbit and stay in your warren — and the fluffle at APN have got a roundup of listens to keep you occupied therein.
Hot tip: If you do have means to safely venture out, check out the illuminated bunnies at Edmonton's Beaver Hills House Park in the wâpos installation by Canmore's Jason Carter. Inspired by the Cree word for rabbit, the exhibit hops away after April 3.
