7 d. ago Tournament of Stars, Cold Court Classic and more to cheer on this weekend in Toronto

We hope you enjoyed those short-lived balmy temperatures earlier this week because the real spring has sprung. It’s that time of year when you don’t know what jacket or coat to wear, if you need a baseball cap or a toque, and if you really need that umbrella. (Psst, you do.) That said, the weather […]

1 week ago If you don't like bats you might want to avoid these Toronto parks this spring

Spring is in the air, and Toronto wildlife is emerging after months of bitter cold, including several species of bats that have either migrated or spent their winters in hibernation, sheltered from the harsh temperatures.Bats are an essential part of the Greater Toronto Area's ecosystems, and, love them or hate them, you might be seeing a lot more of these flying critters in local parks this spring.A series of bat habitat structures will be installed in areas of the Martin Grove, Kipling, Islington and Royal York communities in the coming weeks.Bat boxes will be installed over a roughly six-week period starting this weekend, March 15, 2025, and lasting until April 31, 2025.The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), under contract to Metrolinx, will be carrying out the bat habitat installations in a series of local green spaces, including Deane Park, Silvercreek Park, Eden Valley Park and the parkette west adjacent to Kipling Woodlot.Wildlife authorities sta...

2 w. ago Toronto gaming event is coming back bigger and better this year

The Toronto Game Expo will be held on March 29 and 30 at the Ex's Queen Elizabeth Building.The event will feature a variety of indie game demos, free play gaming areas, over 400 vendor tables, guests like Jon St. Jon (Duke Nukem himself) and Stephanie Panisello (Claire Redfrield from 2019's Resident Evil 2), and more.Every hour, attendees will also be able to take part in raffles to win various gaming-related prizes. Panels featuring some of the guests, including cosplayers, will also be held. The full schedule is available on the official Toronto Game Expo website.It's worth noting that last year's show was a single-day affair in November, which unfortunately coincided with the big Taylor Swift concerts in the city. (Those extra crowds led to me to steer clear of Toronto that weekend, so I'm unfamiliar with how well it went. But with this year's show being at a quieter time, I plan to check it out.)If nothing else, though, there are few consu...
