Toronto has become really good at two things: celebrating our artistic talents and celebrating our waterfront. In its second year, the Winter Stations Design Competition aims to combine the those things once again while also attempting to make our cold winters a bit more bearable. Continue reading
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: we’re so lucky to live on the waterfront!
It’s been a long process to revitalize it, but with the help of Waterfront Toronto and everyone in our neighbourhood we’re really starting to get there. There are so many great places and spaces to hang out – from digging your toes in the sand at Sugar Beach, to catching a show at the Sound Academy, or skating at the Harbourfront Centre – and it’s so important to make the most of your own neighbourhood.

The Billy Bishop Airport has seen some major upgrades over the past few years, which complements the expansion of popularity of Porter Airlines – the main airline that flies out of there. Did you know that it’s the ninth busiest airport in Canada? Right now they offer service from Toronto to 50 cities, including Montreal, New York, Aruba, and San Juan.
