6 h. ago There are 4 places in the GTA that cost more to live in than Toronto

When it comes to the cost of living in Canada, Toronto often takes the spotlight as one of the priciest places to call home. With its bustling downtown core, soaring condo prices, and ever-rising rent, it's no surprise many assume it tops the charts for affordability challenges, but this isn't quite the case. One would be forgiven for thinking that Toronto is the most expensive city in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), but other cities in the region regularly top the 416 in average cost of living. A recent MoneySense report reveals four cities that surpass Toronto among the most expensive places to live in the GTA, and a couple of them don't come as a huge surprise to anyone paying attention to regional home prices and the increase in living costs. Richmond HillAn aerial view of a residential street in Richmond Hill.

6 h. ago Ontario Provincial Park will soon be covered in gorgeous fall colours you need to see

We may be at the tail end of summer, but you can see the first signs of fall colours poking their way through the foliage everywhere in Ontario, and Killarney Provincial Park is no different.Nestled in the La Cloche Mountains on Georgian Bay, Killarney Provincial Park boasts 645 square kilometres of vast wilderness ready for you to explore.

30 h. ago This scenic railroad in Ontario takes colourful fall excursions into the wilderness

The South Simcoe Railway's Fall Colour Excursions, a fall tradition for many in Ontario, return this month, and the historic railway is set to take passengers aboard scenic fall-colours train rides from Tottenham to Beeton for another season.Each round trip, from Tottenham to Beeton and back, lasts just under an hour, and along the way, the conductor shares tidbits of Canada's rich railway history. The fall foliage makes a pretty backdrop for this autumn outing as train riders get to see the changing colours of the leaves throughout the journey aboard a vintage 1920s locomotive.Passengers will usually board Engine #136 to take the trip from Tottenham to Beeton, winding through the Beeton Valley Creek and immersing in all the fall colours and foliage. Given how popular this nature tour gets — the leaves' changing colours at the Beeton Valley Creek are at their best during autumn — it's highly recommend...

38 h. ago New pub replaces Toronto bar that closed after 16 years in business

A Toronto bar with a cult following closed down last winter after 16 years, and it's finally been replaced.It's been eight months since cult-favourite Dundas West sports bar (and former home of Slammie Sammies), Opera Bob's, closed its doors after 16 years, much to the disappointment and dismay of its devoted regulars.The pub was a local staple for a casual drink, lively night out, and especially for Manchester City football match screenings, as the Manchester City Football Club Toronto has called the bar home for nearly as long as it's been around.Last year, during the Premier League championships, it even got a considerable shout-out from the New York Times.Alas, as Nelly Furtado once said, all good things come to an end, and, in the winter of 2024, the pub closed its doors for good, setting its devoted fanbase adrift, searching for somewhere new to take root.Now, at long last, the space has officially gotten a new lease on life, and Opera ...

Among all of the famous faces in town for the 50th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), one unlikely character has managed to completely steal the show on at least one of the distinguished event's red carpets: a local pigeon.Though not the official animal mascots of the city, our common pigeons come in close second, regularly and belovedly anthropomorphized as they tactfully ride our transit, steal our food, and befriend their fellow residents (or even serve as pets).Unfortunately, they're often misrepresented and misunderstood, considered by some to be little more than dirty pests. But one member of the Columbidae family took it upon themselves to buck that reputation this week and try their hand at the high life at a posh, star-studded premiere.If you've been following this year's TIFF happenings on social media, you may have seen the speck...
