32 h. ago This scenic railroad in Ontario takes colourful fall excursions into the wilderness

The South Simcoe Railway's Fall Colour Excursions, a fall tradition for many in Ontario, return this month, and the historic railway is set to take passengers aboard scenic fall-colours train rides from Tottenham to Beeton for another season.Each round trip, from Tottenham to Beeton and back, lasts just under an hour, and along the way, the conductor shares tidbits of Canada's rich railway history. The fall foliage makes a pretty backdrop for this autumn outing as train riders get to see the changing colours of the leaves throughout the journey aboard a vintage 1920s locomotive.Passengers will usually board Engine #136 to take the trip from Tottenham to Beeton, winding through the Beeton Valley Creek and immersing in all the fall colours and foliage. Given how popular this nature tour gets — the leaves' changing colours at the Beeton Valley Creek are at their best during autumn — it's highly recommend...

40 h. ago New pub replaces Toronto bar that closed after 16 years in business

A Toronto bar with a cult following closed down last winter after 16 years, and it's finally been replaced.It's been eight months since cult-favourite Dundas West sports bar (and former home of Slammie Sammies), Opera Bob's, closed its doors after 16 years, much to the disappointment and dismay of its devoted regulars.The pub was a local staple for a casual drink, lively night out, and especially for Manchester City football match screenings, as the Manchester City Football Club Toronto has called the bar home for nearly as long as it's been around.Last year, during the Premier League championships, it even got a considerable shout-out from the New York Times.Alas, as Nelly Furtado once said, all good things come to an end, and, in the winter of 2024, the pub closed its doors for good, setting its devoted fanbase adrift, searching for somewhere new to take root.Now, at long last, the space has officially gotten a new lease on life, and Opera ...

44 h. ago Here's what replaced Toronto fine dining restaurant that closed in under a year

A fine dining restaurant in Toronto has closed its doors after less than a year, and it's already been replaced.Sigh. We know that not everything's built to last, but we had a good feeling about short-lived farm-to-table restaurant The Lost Land.A collaboration between Larry Feldmeier, chef de cuisine at Chicago's Oriole, a two-Michelin-star force, Pidapipo Gelato owner Edison Xue, and chef Cesar Karanapakorn of Judaline and Florette, the restaurant came with some serious promise.Still, it opened quietly to mixed reviews before, just months later, shuttering just as quietly as it arrived.It's not all bad news, though, because, just as swiftly as The Lost Land came and went, it's already been replaced, and its usurper looks just as promising.Now, the space at 146 Yonge St. is home to Bar Filo, a stylish Italian cocktail bar and restaurant, which opened its doors at the beginning of September.The name Filo, the Bar Filo team told ...

68 h. ago Dogs saved from testing lab at Ontario hospital will soon go up for adoption

A group of dogs recently saved from an animal testing facility that was secretly — and shockingly — housed in an Ontario hospital will soon be among the most eligible adoptable pets in the province.Citizens were appalled when news broke last month that scientists at St. Joseph's Health Care in London had been surreptitiously experimenting on pups, forcing them to undergo hours-long heart attacks and eventually killing them in the name of cardiac research.Staff from the medical facility's Lawson Research Institute did their best to hide evidence of the dogs, many of whom were under a year old, going as far as disguising discarded animal food bags and blasting music to cover the noise, according to an Investigative Journalism Bureau exposé that ran in the National Post in early August.Following condemnation from animal activist groups, Premier Doug Ford and the general public, the hospital announced on August 11 t...
