14 h. ago That time Marilyn Monroe came to Ontario to film in Niagara Falls

For a brief period in June 1952, Niagara Falls wasn't just the setting for honeymoons and trips. For two weeks, the area became the backdrop for the noir thriller film appropriately titled Niagara, starring Hollywood bombshell Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotten. Over two weeks, locals watched as film crews transformed the area's streets into movie sets, and Monroe, who was already gaining attention in Hollywood, became just as much of an attraction as the falls themselves. Filming officially began on June 2, and Monroe arrived shortly after, on the morning of Thursday, June 5. The actress stayed in town until June 18, and during that time, scenes were shot across the city, from the old post office and city hall, to the hospital and down in Chippawa. Marilyn Monroe during the filming of Niagara.

A truly stunning architectural statement, years in the making, is coming to the University of Toronto — though it will come at the cost of a nostalgic landmark.U of T announced in late June that it will be moving forward with a redesigned plan for its 90 Queen's Park Crescent, reintroducing the project with a totally reimagined plan after six years of behind-the-scenes planning.The impressive new building, designed by the New York-based architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, working in collaboration with local firm Architects Alliance, will rise six storeys from the site of Toronto's shuttered McLaughlin Planetarium, which opened in 1968 and was closed unceremoniously in 1995.After 30 years of sitting idle, the planetarium's days are numbered, though while this beloved institution would finally bite the dust to make way for change, the University of Toronto's new project would add an impressive new landmark in place of the mothballed attraction.A jaw-dr...

3 d. ago Huge spike in Europeans wanting to visit Ontario amid decline in U.S. tourism

Thinking of your next summer getaway? You might already be living in it. According to a new study by the Europe Pulse Study from Context Research Group, Ontario is a top destination choice for European travellers. The study showed that more than half of European travellers are considering a trip to Ontario, with a strong appeal in visiting Toronto, thanks, in part, to the city's upcoming role as one of the host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Eighty-seven percent also say that Canada, as a country, is appealing enough to visit on its own, rather than as a side trip to the U.S. If you're trying to grasp why that might be, the study also showed that, amid the tense political climate in the U.S., 62 per cent of European travellers are wary of visiting the States, making Canada an even more attractive getaway. Destination Ontario, along with Destination Toronto, commissioned the study to gain a deeper understanding of how global events are influe...
