Toronto bar Pegasus on Church recently marked 30 years in the Church-Wellesley Village, evolving from its humble beginnings as a billiards lounge in 1995 into a community hub today that emphasizes unique programming and provides a welcoming space for the LGBTQ community. Pegasus originally got its start as Pegasus Billiard Lounge just north of its current location. Founded by Robert Knight and Michael Dorman, the bar moved to its present address on Church Street after four successful years, which allowed for expansion and more programming.Christopher Hudspeth, who joined the company in the fall of 2005 as a bartender, officially took over the bar’s ownership in 2013 and currently serves as the president and general manager of Pegasus.Despite its successes, the bar's journey to 30 years was not without its hurdles. During the pandemic, Hudspeth served as the chair of the Church-Wellesley Village BIA and worked diligently to press the local government on wage...

Canada and the U.S. are inching ever closer to the opening of the highly-anticipated Gordie Howe International Bridge, which will soon serve as the largest border crossing between the two countries, as well as the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America.As we approach the seventh anniversary of work starting on the gargantuan infrastructure project, residents stand just months away from actually being able to use it. And, the team working to wrap things up on the ground continues to drum up excitement with extraordinary drone footage, behind-the-scenes looks, and other updates.The latest is a mini-tour of some of the border checkpoint's facilities, including a drive-through of an inspection lane and the secondary inspection area once vehicles cross the six-lane, 2.5-kilometre-long viaduct over the Detroit River into Windsor, Ontario.A clip posted to the project's official YouTube page on Thursday takes viewers through one of the crossing's five-meter ta...

Toronto Pearson International Airport devolved into mayhem this week, somehow less so because of the Delta plane crash that saw an aircraft unbelievably flip over and burst into flames on the runway, and more so because of resulting flight cancellations and irate passengers.The hub was left operating in a limited capacity in the aftermath of the accident, with two closed runways and a growing backlog of delayed and cancelled flights just days after severe winter storms, to boot.While there is nary a person who would take the news of a flight disruption well, one might imagine that under the circumstances, hiccups were to be expected, and thus a little more forgivable.Issues with those who had booked with one airline in particular, though, ended up causing such a stir that 911 was called on Wednesday morning.On Monday, the Canadian carrier — known for its vacation packages to tropical getaways — advised travellers that all...
