6 h. ago Pioneering Toronto music festival returns for 25th year this week

Toronto's very own Wavelength Winter Fest returns this weekend for three nights straight of live performances some of the most innovative up-and-comers on the indie scene alongside immersive interiors.I may be biased, but Toronto's indie music scene — and, more broadly, Canada's, — is home to some of the most unique and impressive artists around today, which is why the city's already-bountiful selection of collectives, venues and event series' that support them are so significant.Wavelength, a collective founded in 2000 on the premise of uplifting indie music acts across Canada, has been a major player on that scene for the past quarter century; and they're not slowing down any time soon.From Feb. 27 to March 1, Wavelength Winter Fest, one of Wavelength's annual marquee music events, returns to their haunt at St. Anne's Parish Hall for not only three nights of live music from hidden gems and up-and-comers alike, but a celebration of 25 years of the organization."Jus...

40 h. ago Someone called police to Toronto airport for passengers losing it over cancelled flights

Toronto Pearson International Airport devolved into mayhem this week, somehow less so because of the Delta plane crash that saw an aircraft unbelievably flip over and burst into flames on the runway, and more so because of resulting flight cancellations and irate passengers.The hub was left operating in a limited capacity in the aftermath of the accident, with two closed runways and a growing backlog of delayed and cancelled flights just days after severe winter storms, to boot.While there is nary a person who would take the news of a flight disruption well, one might imagine that under the circumstances, hiccups were to be expected, and thus a little more forgivable.Issues with those who had booked with one airline in particular, though, ended up causing such a stir that 911 was called on Wednesday morning.On Monday, the Canadian carrier — known for its vacation packages to tropical getaways — advised travellers that all...

Toronto is still quite resembling a ski town after a barrage of snowstorms that have made this season feel like the first proper Canadian winter we've had in a while.The City has since said cleanup efforts are set to take a few weeks, and while residents are climbing over snowbanks and navigating narrow sidewalks in the meantime, it can be hard to imagine that spring is just around the corner.And, even before springtime officially kicks off on March 20, Ontario will be treated to some later sunsets that will be a welcome change to the depths of winter that we are just emerging from.The days have been getting longer since the winter solstice on December 21, and we've since made it past the 10 the darkest weeks of what is, for many, the most dispiriting season.In just over two weeks, clocks will "spring forward" an hour, marking the start of another cycle of Daylight Saving Time, and bringing with it an extra hour of daylight in the evening...
