Things to do
by harrietholiday
Toronto has something to offer for everyone, it all depends where your interests are.
Online check out www.martiniboys.com the latest tips about restaurants (new openings), clubs, concerts, parties etc (also for Montreal, Vancouver, and Calgary) much better than your typical hotel booklet.
Now Magazine, free available at most street corners or coffee shops, has a very extensive list of music venues, art showings, must be a little openminded re some articles. etc...online www.nowtoronto.com Eye weekly also free both magazines are a little alternative, but really good info what is happening in the city. www.eye.net.
www.toronto.com a little more more mainstream but includes agenda's and events for children also. If you are coming in the summer be sure to to see what is happening at Harbour front www.harbourfrontcentre.com free concerts, or when not free walk around and you can still enjoy what is going on, outdoor movies, cultural events, it is a bit touristy but a must visit in the summer day and night.
Toronto Tip
by pollon
I had already been abroad but never overseas before this trip and you are going to read about the thrill but also all the inexperience of it... my very first memory is to have spot a squirrel in the middle of the street as soon as I got out of the bus when I arrived in Toronto... at first I couldn't belive my eyes but then I saw another one from the window of the hotel room and much more the day after in the park nearby... definitely they were squirrels and in spite I was said they are busybodies like our pigeons in Italy I found them lovely...
FANTASTIC VIEWS OF THE CITY
by LoriPori
From the Ferry and Toronto Islands, there are FANTASTIC VIEWS OF THE CITY. You can clearly see the CN Tower and the Toronto Skyline and as it was a beautiful, sunny autumn day with clear blue skies, it made the pics even nicer.
CANADA'S WONDERLAND Well, I...

CANADA'S WONDERLAND Well, I haven't been there since I was 13, so I am sure much of my info is outdated, but I remember it being a very fun place as a child!
There were several rollercoasters( the wooden one REALLY shook you and while I was riding it once,a person lost their glasses on it!) There was also a huge manmade mountain with a waterfall and you could walk up the mountain and walk behind the falls. Since I haven't been there in years, I am sure things are MUCH different now!
All EnglishLanguage...with a Canadian twist
by kd_baby
If you're from the US, esp. the southern US, you'll do a double take the first you hear "south", "house", "doubt" and a host of other sayings.
Also, they don't have "restrooms", they have "washrooms".
And finally, yes they do say "Eh?" as the end of a lot of their sentences. If you're an American and want to practice, just substitute "Eh" at the end of your sentences where you would normally say "Right" or "Huh" or "Yeah/Yes/Yep".
Other than that it's all English :-)
