2 h. ago Toronto Blue Jays pitcher ties the knot with his high school sweetheart

It's been quite the year for Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Braydon Fisher.The 25-year-old was acquired by the Blue Jays in a trade that saw Cavan Biggio head to the LA Dodgers partway through the 2024 season. At that time, he hadn't yet pitched at the MLB level.However, that changed this past season, as Fisher was selected to the Blue Jays' 40-man roster in early May. He wound up pitching 50 innings for the Jays, posting an impressive 2.70 ERA along with 62 strikeouts. He was also entrusted with pitching seven innings during the playoffs.The great year for Fisher was extended into the offseason, as the right-hander tied the knot last week with his fiancée, Brianna Ririe, at The Luminaire in Montgomery, Texas. The Jays reliever announced the exciting news on Instagram over the weekend.    View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Braydon Fisher (@braydon_fisher11)"Marrie...

The former Toronto Star building at 1 Yonge St. has been spared from demolition, at least for now.The 1970-built office tower that has been without an anchor tenant for three years will be converted into a hotel as part of a transformative redevelopment currently taking over the skyline.Developer Pinnacle International announced on Monday that it had filed plans with the City of Toronto to convert the 25-storey office tower into a hotel, with 468 guest rooms, a new grand lobby, and a ballroom.The Toronto Star building was home to its namesake newspaper for 50 years, vacating in 2022 for new digs a few kilometres to the west at The Well.Pinnacle notes that a designer and hotel operator have not yet been selected, but intends to "bring the building's existing character into dialogue with the new Pinnacle One Yonge towers."Previously targeted for demolition — with permits even filed ahead of its widely-anticipated teardown — the building is now targeted for a ...

3 d. ago Toronto drivers to pay hefty fines for this winter driving mistake

Toronto drivers who park or idle on streetcar routes during major snowstorms could soon be shelling out a lot more money for their winter driving mistakes — $500 to be exact.City Council voted on Wednesday to more than double the fine for such offences, raising fees from the previous $200 fine to $500 in an overwhelming 21-4 vote. Councillor Dianne Saxe, who first introduced the penalty increase, said fines of only $200 were insufficient in deterring drivers.The increased fine targets cars parked illegally on designated snow routes, as well as vehicles that idle while picking up or dropping off passengers, or briefly stop to run errands. The new changes aim to prevent the transit chaos witnessed during last winter's heavy snowstorms, when streetcars were often blocked by cars parked by snowbanks.One viral incident saw Toronto residents quite literally push a car that had blocked a TTC streetcar, and the City says the new measures are designed to prevent similar disrup...
