Fortnite Releases New Spider-Man: No Way Home Skins During Winterfest Celebrations – CGMagazine
In celebration of the release of the highly anticipated Spider-Man: No Way Home, Fortnite has announced it is releasing two skins from the movie into Fortnite Chapter 3—MCU’s Spider-Man and MJ.
The new skins are gifts and are a part of Fortnite‘s Winterfest event which kicked off today and is running for a couple of weeks into the new year until January 6th. Each day Fortnite players will get a gift each day for two weeks in the event’s ’14 days of Christmas’.
The first special event are the Spider-Man: No Way Home skins, which players can pick up in the item shop today. Players who pick up the webhead skin can take off Spidey’s mask and reveal his true identity, Tom Holland aka Peter Parker. Not shocking for anyone in the MCU as everyone at the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home found out his secret identity going into the 2021 Spider-Man movie.
You can also visit the Winter Lodge each day for a new gift (Hint: watch the fire place for a special bonus!) When players revisit the winter lodge tomorrow they will be able to get their next daily gift, which could be one of two Outfits, two Pickaxes, two Wraps, a Glider, Contrail, Emote, Lobby Track, Loading, Screen, Emoticon, Spray, and Banner. Those outfits will be the holiday-themed versions of Krisabelle and Polar Peely.
Players can unlock a third bonus Blizzabelle outfit by just logging into the game through the Epic Games Launcher before January 6th. There are more things you can unlock during Fortnite Winterfest which includes the Snowmando Board Glider and Frosty Back Bling, which players can try to unlock by completing the winter objectives. In addition, Fortnite Crew members can also unlock the Golden Look Board Glider.
Spider-Man made his Fortnite debut in his classic outfit earlier this month as a part of Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1’s battle pass. When players tried out the swinging in the game, it was shockingly good to many’s surprise. For more on Spider-Man: No Way Home, check out our review.

Important updates regarding the Bob-Birnie Arena

The City of Pointe-Claire would like to inform you that the Bob-Birnie arena will be closed for its annual maintenance as of Monday, April 29. The Annex rink will reopen to the public on Monday, May 13, and the arena’s Main rink will be accessible as of Monday, June 3.
Public skating will resume on May 13, and the summer public activities programming will begin on June 3 when both rinks have reopened to the public.
In addition to the annual maintenance of the facility, two renovation projects are also scheduled to start at the same time:
Installation of new sound systems
The City will be replacing its current sound systems in both the Main rink and Annex rink, to offer arena visitors a better overall experience, whether watching from the stands or participating in on-ice activities. This project is expected to be conducted throughout the month of May.
Renovation of locker rooms in the Main Rink
The City will also be renovating the five locker rooms located in the Main rink, to bring up to date the amenities currently available to participants. These renovations are expected to begin in early May and will be completed by mid-August.

Surprise Apple Event Hints at First New iPads in Years – CNET
We haven’t seen a new iPad in years, but Apple seems likely to change that in just a few weeks. All signs point to the release of new iPad models in the first week of May.
This morning, I received an email invite for a virtual Apple event, scheduled for May 7 at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET). The invite, which says “Let Loose,” shows a drawing of a hand holding an Apple Pencil. Considering the iPad is the only device that uses the Pencil — that doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
Apple’s been expected to release new OLED-screened iPad Pros with newly designed Pencils and Magic Keyboard cases. New iPad Airs are also expected, including a larger-screened 12.9-inch model. Apple’s iPad Air lineup tends to be slightly redesigned versions of previous-model iPad Pros, so just look to the M2 iPad Pro lineup for a sense of what the next Airs could be. These would be the first new iPads since the iPad Pro M2 model arrived in late 2022.
