Cats in the Cradle

Our Fathers and Father figures in our life are some of the most important pillars of our upbringing. They are the people who took us fishing, taught us how to change a tire and have effortlessly demonstrated how you can grill your way through a Canadian winter. They’re the ones who took time out of their work days to volunteer on school field trips, coach our soccer teams and always found the time to read us to sleep or pass on sagely father advice.

Our Dad’s were wearing new balance shoes and baggy faded jeans before any of us decided it was cool – they were cracking Dad jokes before we even knew what a Dad joke was. We love the Father figures in our life and to show them how much we care we’ve highlighted some fantastic options in Inglewood for you to treat your Dad this Father’s  Day.
