TORONTO — Rock group Goo Goo Dolls are heading out on a cross-Canada tour this winter — and bringing some Canadian talent along with them.

The band behind hits like “Iris” and “Slide” will kick off the tour Feb. 17 at Montreal’s Olympia Theatre and wrap it up on March 6 at the Hard Rock Casino in Vancouver.
