We are continuing with our popular feature, The Record’s Top Five (or More) Things to Do This Weekend and offer the following suggestions for June 6 to 8.

It’s all happening on Sunday, June 8 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on East Columbia Street, between Braid and Sherbrooke streets.
5. Drop by Moody Park Arena or Queen’s Park Arena and check out the John Witt Memorial Bellies Bowl, a lacrosse tournament for novice players. Who knows – you might see a future Wayne Goss or Geordie Dean when youngsters from around the province take to the floor in the June 6 to 8 tournament.
