8 h. ago What the Toronto Eaton Centre looked like when it was under construction

The CF Toronto Eaton Centre might be the place where you now shop for holiday gifts, back-to-school sales, and vacation outfits, but what many people don't know is the complex history behind its construction. Before it became Canada's busiest mall, the Eaton Centre was actually the focus of contentious public debates, major architectural innovation and a dramatic transformation of downtown Toronto's streetscape in the 1970s. The shopping centre occupies land once owned almost entirely by the Eaton's department chain, which had revolutionized the Canadian retail industry after its founding by Timothy Eaton in the 19th century. View of the Eaton Centre construction in 1975. Photo: City of Toronto Archives.By the mid-20th century, Eaton's owned most of the land bounded by Yonge, Queen, Bay and Dundas streets, excluding Old City Hall and the Church of the Holy Trinity. However, as operations continued to move to suburban locations in the 1960s, Ea...

8 h. ago Canada's oldest annual fair is in Ontario but it's not the CNE

Friday marks the kickoff of this year's Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), thought of as the biggest, best and most legendary festival in all of Canada.While the annual 18-day event replete with classic midway rides, nostalgic carnival games and more ostentatious snacks than you could ever imagine does boast a long, rich history at a whopping 146 years old, it is not actually the oldest of its kind in the country.That title belongs to a far lesser-known fair well outside Toronto in historic Williamstown, Ontario.Just under four hours' drive from the big city, this quaint little town of less than 500 people is the sort of place one might simply pass by on the way to somewhere else.But, it is home to a handful of sites well worthy of visiting, especially for history buffs — including the eponymous grounds where the Williamstown Fair takes place each August.Founded all the way back in 1808 and brought to its current location i...

However, beyond those impressive numbers, there are always personal stories — such as one recently shared to Reddit that reminds us locals why the city continues to draw so many people in. The post on the Toronto subreddit from an American visitor has gone viral, racking up over 1,500 upvotes and more than 200 comments.
