The Toronto Traveler

I’m starting to fall more and more in love with Winter. Yes, this is after spending a total of nine hours on the freeway traveling from Toronto to Windsor (which was at least ten degrees colder than the city) this weekend…in that time, I had the chance to take in my fair share of snowdrifts and bitter winds. But while my teeth were chattering, I was reminded that one annual event you just can’t miss is right around the corner – The Cavalcade of Lights.

Christmas is a very fun time, regardless of whether you celebrate it or not.  You get the chance to be with your family, many of whom you may only see at that time.  You get the chance to watch television and eat chocolate as much as your heart desires.  And of course people that do celebrate the holiday get to have presents, sing Christmas Carols and everyone also gets the day off from work.  All in all, Christmas is a very fun time and if you are going to be in Toronto this evening you can help the Metropolitan Community …read more

I’m a bit pressed for time at the moment due to some assignments I have due today and tomorrow, but I wanted to keep my posting schedule regular so I decided to cheat a bit and share a couple of videos with you today.  The first one is below and is just a simple overview of the City of Toronto, which I pulled off YouTube.  Let me know what you think!

Now that snowfall is occuring here in Toronto and the weather is getting reasonably cold (although we haven’t had snow fall since the first snowfall earlier last week), the famous ice rink in Nathan Phillips Square in front of city hall is open for business once again.  This is an ice rink that I remember going to and skating on year after year when I was a kid and on any given day you’ll see Torontonians having a great time with friends and family as they skate around the partially natural, partially man-made ice rink that covers the square during …read more
