Less than eight months after it was first announced, Toronto's newest venue, Rogers Stadium, is swiftly coming together before its big debut this summer — and Live Nation is in the midst of hiring for the site's team.Those keeping tabs on the stadium's social media will have seen that it has been hosting a series of career fairs this month, with the next one coming up on Wednesday, May 14.Meanwhile, construction on the 50,000-capacity outdoor venue, the largest of its kind in the city, has been scaling up as we approach its inaugural show at the end of June.Locals have snapped some sneaky photos of the progress at YZD (formerly the Downsview Airport Lands) and shared them to socials in recent months, some of them showing active chair installation on newly-built bleachers more than 20 rows high back in March, when about half of the stadium appeared to be built.A Reddit user who lives nearby shared photos of the venue's progress in M...

8 h. ago 5 Leafs players might be playing their last home game in Toronto

For much of the Toronto Maple Leafs' playoff run, they've been able to avoid one of the toughest parts about life in the NHL.Winning six of their first 10 playoff games, the vibes have been mostly high in the Leafs' world for how things have shaken out thus far.Despite allowing the Florida Panthers to tie their second-round series at two games apiece (and allowing the Ottawa Senators two wins after initially taking a 3-0 series lead), Toronto has been able to keep themselves in the hunt for the Stanley Cup as long as the franchise has seen since 2004.But with a maximum of three games left in their series against Florida, we've suddenly hit a make-or-break point: it could be the last time some of the team's players ever suit up for the Leafs.And on Wednesday night, for a crucial Game 5 that will put the winner one game away from clinching the series, it could actually be the last time some local fans get a chance to cheer on some of their biggest heroes if Toronto...

The rehabilitation work that has been significantly worsening traffic on Toronto's Gardiner Expressway for over a year now may be running ahead of schedule, but the coming months are still set to be full of headaches for motorists in the area, thanks to it and other large-scale construction projects.One of these projects is the Ontario Line, for which brand new subway stations and tunnels are in various stages of progress all across the city.
