2 h. ago Toronto neighbourhood rallying to save aging shopping plaza from demolition

A proposed multi-tower redevelopment of Toronto's first suburban shopping plaza has riled up a local councillor, who has embarked on a campaign to send developers back to the drawing board.A proposed redevelopment of Lawrence Plaza at Bathurst and Lawrence would involve the demolition of the 72-year-old shopping centre and construction of as many as eight residential buildings.Conceptual plans to redevelop the Lawrence Plaza property at 534 Lawrence Ave W. first emerged in early 2025 and were followed in June by a more fleshed-out concept from developer RioCan, in a joint venture with property owner the Milestone Group.However, the project has not been met with the warmest reception by a long-serving local politician.Local city councillor Mike Colle has taken a stand against the development, rallying neighbourhood support to stop the redevelopment of the plaza."This is our Town Centre and Much More than a Plaza," wrote Colle, clarifying that "C...

17 h. ago Things are going well for Mitch Marner after leaving Toronto Maple Leafs

The Toronto Maple Leafs' offseason talk this past spring was dominated mostly by one man: Mitch Marner.After nine years on the team and with a shot at becoming the franchise's leading scorer, Marner opted to take his talents elsewhere and find a new home.Technically, Marner actually ended up with his current Vegas Golden Knights team via a sign-and-trade, but he pretty clearly played a part in exiting the Leafs.Fast-forward through one quarter of the Leafs' season, and they're much closer to the bottom of the NHL than the top. Marner's Golden Knights, meanwhile, sit fourth in a jam-packed Pacific Division, but just two points off the division lead.At least in the early days, it seems like Marner's choice to pick a new home has been paying off in dividends, given that the Leafs look like a shell of their former selves this season.How has Marner been doing away from the Leafs?Marner is currently tied for 34th in NHL scoring, with 20 points in 18 games by way of...
