2 h. ago Toronto ferry terminal now under construction for massive months

As we look ahead to a time when ferry service to the Toronto Islands will be more efficient, reliable and frequent enough to accommodate the immense (and growing) crowds who head across the water during the warm-weather months, ground has finally been broken to prepare the waterfront for our fancy new fleet of watercraft.After months of planning and preliminary work, the City announced this week that construction at the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal has officially begun, with fencing now blocking off some of the areas where crews will install key infrastructure needed to dock and charge the electric vessels heading our way in 2026 and 2027.The boats — though expensive — will be a welcome upgrade, being quieter, more eco-friendly and, of course, more modern, along with having increased passenger capacity than our current ferries (which range in age from just over 60 to a whopping 114 years old).As the shoreside proj...

The highly anticipated Toronto location of a popular Canadian bar and restaurant chain is finally opening next month.It's been nearly a year since the stylish Calgary restaurant chain Central Taps announced that it'd be taking over the Ossington space that once housed the iconic Venezia Bakery, before going virtually silent.The city wondered when, if ever, they'd get to experience it for themselves.As time went on, the initially projected "early 2025" opening date became increasingly harder to believe in, until, finally, over halfway through 2025, the chain broke its silence on the Toronto location's developments, sharing an official opening date for Central Toronto Ossington.Hey, nothing worth having ever arrives on time, does it? Just look at the Eglinton LRT. At least Central didn't make Toronto wait for quite so long.At long last, Central Toronto Ossington is opening its doors to the public on Thursday, July 3, jus...

4 h. ago Some Ontario residents will be getting even bigger government payouts in July

Rates for the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) will jump in July, putting a bit more money in the pockets of eligible low-income, working-age provincial residents living with a disability.The provincial government's ODSP benefits pay out up to $1,368 per month for basic needs, such as food, shelter, prescription drugs, and vision care per single person as of June 2025, a number that will increase by 2.8 per cent on July 1.Starting in July, ODSP recipients will be paid out as much as $1,408 monthly — though some recipients may receive more to accommodate the needs of immediate family, transportation to medical appointments, and other factors.So, essentially, recipients will — even in the best-case scenario — receive an additional $40, a sum unlikely to make a significant impact for anyone struggling amid a cost-of-living crisis in Ontario.A release from the province touts the bump in payouts as "the fourth rate increase since we tied ODSP rates to ...
