Sounds like the title of a teen horror flick, right? But alas, we’re talking about Toronto’s favourite end-of-summer event, the Canadian National Exhibition or more lovingly referred to as the Ex! We figured we’re the best people to write about the food this year seeing as we survived the Cronut burger last summer. This year there’s no Cronuts but there’s a helluva lotta new food items that we’re itching to go sample tomorrow when the Ex opens!
A few months ago we shared with you some tips and suggestions on where you should shop so that you can finally start dressing like an adult. Now, we’re moving on to how to make your home look presentable and fancy by shopping at Yorkdale. You ready?
So remember how we started a series talking about all the good that goes on in our lovely city? Like the Toronto Batman or the People for Good? Well, we think it’s high time we started sharing more good things that happen in the best city in the world, starting with something that we’re really proud to be a part of: a scholarship!
This is the biggest news of the summer, so hold onto your butts!
We’ve already told you that our newest project is headed to Yorkdale, and it’s called … well, The Yorkdale. But now we’ve got even bigger and better news …
Registration is now open! Oh, and we’ve got a sweet logo! AND an exclusive first look to you, loyal blog readers!
Want to see more? Well, you’re just going to have to be patient but be sure to register so you know everything you need to know.
The Yorkdale is a mid-rise condominium project by Context ( That’s us!) and Metropia. It is located in the backyard of Yorkdale shopping centre, which means that you basically have the worlds biggest walk-in closet.This also means you are on the TTC line still because apparently the darn thing goes north of Bloor. Who would have thought that?
We dished out the details on what’s happening at Downsview Park this summer, which is within close proximity to our new project, The Yorkdale, but that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten all about Fort York, Library District’s neighbouring public space! In fact, Fort York is poppin’ this summer – and it’s no longer just a historical site.
This weekend we found out that Toronto heroes and rock icons, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush, are having a park named after them. Since we have a mayor who is insistent on proclaiming things, we thought we’d offer up a few more suggestions to what and who Toronto can honour with a park.
Okay, now that you’ve recovered from Canada Day festivities, it’s time to start planning beach dates and weekends at the cottage! Can you guess what the common denominator is for all summer excursions? If you guessed beer, you’re probably right, but we’re thinking books and plenty of ’em! And with the newly opened Fort York Library right next door to Library District, you have no excuse to not read more this summer!
Take a gander at our summer reading list so far.
It’s almost time to celebrate our home and native land’s birthday! She doesn’t look a day over 100 though, eh?
By now you should already know that we’re headed to Yorkdale for our new project, The Yorkdale. Cue applause and cheer.
Yes, we’re going north of Bloor because believe it or not, there’s still plenty of fun to be had outside of our little Toronto downtown core. Besides some of the best shopping in the city (sorry Bloor St., you’re fine and all until it starts to snow), there’s also plenty of amenities in and around the Yorkdale ‘hood including Downsview Park!
