In addition to the larger, more popular venues such as the St. Lawrence, Evergreen Brickworks and Nathan Phillips Square, there are many small, intimate, neighbourhood and seasonal pop up markets for everyone to enjoy.

With the warm weather on our doorstep, it’s time to explore the many beautiful parks and cityscapes that our city has to offer. A great place to start is the Toronto Islands. Haven’t been lately? You’re not alone. It’s surprising how many GTA residents overlook this gem of real estate when searching for a leisurely day away from the hot steaming sidewalks and air conditioned malls. A short ferry ride will drop you at one of the islands’ ferry docks where you have your choice of activities from an amusement park to picnicking, bike riding, fine or casual dining and so much more. It is an affordable stay-cation that is too often overlooked. And while you may not be able to see the Hanlan’s Point “Diving Horse” attraction any longer, there are endless possibilities of leisurely fun and activity just waiting for you to discover.
