Toronto's ultimate winter craft beer festival returns to the Roundhouse this week for a day of local brews, retro regalia and food trucks galore.I'll be the first to admit it: a good, old-fashioned apres-ski day party holds a special place in my heart. There's just something special about the sensation of hitting an open-air dance floor in your snow pants with a beer in hand that makes winter feel — almost — enjoyable. And if you know how I feel about winter, you'll know that's high praise indeed.Lucky for me, and others who share my passions, the annual Roundhouse Winter Craft Beer Festival is right around the corner, bringing all the magic of a day on the slopes to the heart of downtown Toronto.This party is a lot more about the brewskies than actual skis though.    View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Steam Whistle (@steamwhistlebrewing)Taking place at the Steamwhist...

Fresh off his first appearance at NBA All-Star Weekend in the Bay Area, Toronto Raptors sophomore Gradey Dick got a stark reminder of where exactly he's calling home these days."[I'm] coming back to a snowstorm, so it’s a little hard," Dick said in an interview on Tuesday night.But while what might be the worst weather he's seen during his two years in the NBA could get him down, Dick got right back to business at Scotiabank Arena early this week, leading a clinic of 25+ kids as part of the Lay–Up Youth Basketball program.Surprising the group of kids before taking them on in one-on-one and a series of drills, Dick relished the opportunity as a 21-year-old to be in a leadership role, whether it's in a clinic or on-court with the Raptors."I don't take it for granted. It's a blessing to have this platform. So yeah, if I can make an impact and be a role model for some of these kids, you know, that’s really the goal in life, is to impact others," Dic...

After years of talk about a potential high speed train that would link Toronto and the province of Quebec, it seems that the federal government is finally gearing up to officially announce the project.Anonymous inside sources disclosed to the Star that Transport Minister Anita Anand would be joining Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday to share the latest update on the rail initiative, confirming a new line to run at speeds of around 200 km/h (or even faster) between Toronto and Quebec City.And, the news has now been confirmed by the PM.Spanning more than 1,000 km, the route's proposed stops would include Ottawa, Laval, Trois-Rivières, and Montreal, with passengers able to reach the latter city in just over three hours — a huge improvement to the current travel time of 5 hours and 2 minutes, at best, with VIA Rail.Could Toronto-Montreal route be Canada's first high-speed rail line? https://t.co/rD9gZ...
