43 h. ago Here's where you can watch fireworks for Victoria Day 2025 in Toronto

One of the most anticipated Victoria Day events in Toronto is the annual fireworks at Ashbridges Bay Park. This year, on Monday, May 19, the city is set to continue its tradition of lighting up the skies in the east end with an awe-inspiring display of fireworks.According to official city sources, the fireworks will start at 10 p.m. and run for approximately 14 minutes.The park is TTC accessible, available via the 92 Southbound from Woodbine Station or the 501 Queen Streetcar. But savvy fireworks regulars will know that these routes are usually packed, and a good way to skip the crowd is the 22 Southbound from Coxwell Station.Parking is available, with two Green P lots at Woodbine Beach and Ashbridges Bay. However, given the fireworks display's popularity, we recommend taking public transit.Where to watch the fireworks in TorontoIf you're worried about crowds around Ashbridges Bay Park, there are a few key vantage points from...

2 w. ago Leafs players roamed Toronto streets before playoff games and hardly anyone noticed

There's a common belief held that if you ever find yourself as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs, your life will never be the same.With a rabid media market, eagle-eyed fans, and about as much pressure as any professional athlete could be expected to have, even fringe Leafs players are assumed to have a tough time being anonymous in Toronto.But that might not exactly be the case.Posted up on the corner of Bay and Front streets before Game 1 and 2 against the Ottawa Senators in the opening round of the playoffs this week, fan Brian Encarnacao shared a few videos on his Instagram page of Leafs players opting to walk down the street to Scotiabank Arena rather than take a car or public transit.With thousands of fans packed into Maple Leaf Square, the arena itself, and nearby bars, restaurants, and condos to watch the game, you'd imagine the players would be bugged by people trying to stop them for an autograph or a quick pic.One of the players spotted by Encarnacao before both...

A large void is being carved out below a major Toronto intersection traversed by thousands every day, and few people passing overhead have any idea that a huge cave lurks below as part of the push to build the new $27 billion Ontario Line.When it opens to the public in 2031, the new 15-station, 15.6-kilometre transit line will relieve existing subway interchanges by providing a route between Exhibition Place and the shuttered Ontario Science Centre.That route includes a tunnelled stretch through the heart of downtown Toronto, requiring deep underground excavations at station sites in preparation for the arrival of tunnel boring machines.The future Ontario Line Queen-Spadina subway station will be one of the stations requiring the excavation of "caverns" deep below street-level, and Metrolinx has provided an update on the major operation hidden out of sight underground.The transit agency shared new photos celebrating "a big month underground" in February, noting t...
