Keeping up with Toronto

5 comments

Next week, I'm finally packing all my belongings into a rickety U-Haul and hitting the road for Toronto. Apparently things happen occasionally in that city and I want to keep abreast of the goings-on in Toronto and its environs. I've already been introduced to the Toronto edition of Craigslist but where else online does one keep on top of events, concerts, news, and general day-to-day affairs?

I don't live in TO but "Now" magazine is a start: http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/current/

Joey is well worth reading, even for those of us not in TO.

My source was Eye magazine. Bit more on the fringe than Now...but a great weekly!

Hi Daniel -- while I rely primarily on Now Magazine, you might also occasionally browse The Varsity, UofT's student newspaper.

Ryerson's student radio station used to be fantastic and CIUT (the UofT station) had its moments as well. As with all student run outfits, the quality varies from year to year depending on who's working there, but you may want to give them a try.

I'm looking forward to the access to great rep cinemas again -- here's the link to the online schedule for the Festival Cinemas:

And here's the schedule for the Bloor, another indy:
