10 h. ago Forgotten and abandoned Ontario ghost town was once a bustling port

Ontario is a province rife with ghost towns — once-thriving communities that met untimely ends.One such town is Depot Harbour near Parry Sound, which was once a thriving trade port in Georgian Bay that was left abandoned after a devastating fire. Despite its location near a still-thriving community, the ghost town remains one of the most inaccessible in the province.There are many mysteries to this now desolate town, its history deeply rooted in and ultimately scarred by colonialism.Here's a closer look inside this forgotten trade port town and what's going on with it today.The town's foundationIn the late 1890s, one of the largest lumber exporters in North America, John Rudolphus Booth, acquired railways in the area to eventually form the Canadian Atlantic Railway (CAR).At first, the people of Parry Sound were thrilled to finally be getting a railway that connected them with Ottawa. But the price tag on the dock fees was too high, so Booth...

The epic undertaking to renaturalize Toronto's Port Lands has already created a new serpentine mouth for the Don River, soon to be joined by stunning public spaces — including one standout park scheduled to welcome the public this summer.Waterfront Toronto has released new aerial footage of the renaturalized Don River captured in March, showing off the new human-made waterway that officially started flowing last year.The latest video update on construction in the Port Lands offers a hint at what is in store for the coming months, most notably the gradual opening of new parks and public spaces in the formerly industrial district.One standout of the reimagined Port Lands will be a large public space hugging the Keating Channel and Toronto Harbour on the north side of the river.The space known as Biidaasige Park, (pronounced Bee-daw-sih-geh) is comprised of a future northern section and an upcoming southern section, the latter of which is scheduled to partially open this summ...

34 h. ago Toronto's artificial peninsula set to keep growing for decades

Toronto's man-made peninsula, the Leslie Street Spit, is still growing, and will be for the next few decades to come as dredged material from the city's harbour continues to be deposited along its shoreline.Created in 1959 by the Toronto Harbour Commissioners (THC), now PortsToronto, for "port-related facilities," the Leslie Street Spit's expected use as an outer harbour port never panned out, yet the landform has expanded significantly through millions of cubic metres of concrete, earth fill, and dredged sand, and today supports Tommy Thompson Park.The artificial peninsula extends five kilometres into Lake Ontario and is over 500 hectares in size. The park is home to some of the largest existing natural habitats on the Toronto waterfront, and includes wildflower meadows, cottonwood forests, cobble beaches, and coastal marshes.Aerial view of the Leslie Street Spit in 1975.

34 h. ago Trippy Ontario house that looks like a 1970s time capsule is going for $4.5M

It may be 2025, but stepping into 6800 Second Line W. in Mississauga feels like falling headfirst into a lava lamp.This trippy time capsule appears to have been pulled straight from 1970, complete with psychedelic wallpaper.We're talking zigzag patterns that make the walls look like they're melting, linoleum tiles so loud they practically scream, and a wood-panelled basement rec room that looks ready to host a Bee Gees listening party.The foyer. This home has never been on the market before, so it's no surprise it's in need of some serious modernization.The dining room. But if you can see past the retro riot of textures and colours, there's actually a ton of potential here.The land. Not only does the home offer four bedrooms and four bathrooms, but it sits on nearly an acre of land.So much room for activities. According to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, half of that could be subdivided into two separate lots, each measuring a s...

34 h. ago This Ontario wellness retreat has you staying in a tiny box in the middle of the woods

This secluded wellness retreat in Ontario is perhaps the most serene way to reconnect with nature without sacrificing on luxury.Wellness may be the buzzword to end all buzzwords in 2025, being co-opted by everything from luxury clubs offering some seriously Cronenbergian-sounding services to cold plunge camps that encourage you to take a dip in frozen lakes, but it's not without reason.In 2025, when the world seems to be careening ever deeper into utter chaos, the notion that there are concrete steps (that can come in varying degrees of scientific complexity) we can take to support our own — say it with me — wellness, is a comfort.It's a small way to feel in control of an otherwise out-of-control period in human history.But that's not why I called you here. I only bring it up because Garth and Rebecca Bigelow, who own Muskoka-based vacation rental venture Unique Stays, have found a similar sense of peace in the whole 'wellness' thing, a...
