Things To Do
Canadian National Exhibition - The Ex
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is Canada’s largest community event and one of the top ten agricultural fairs in North America. Founded in 1879 as the Toronto Industrial Exhibition, the CNEA is a not-for-profit organization that has enjoyed a distinguished history as a showcase of the nation. People came to experience the latest innovations in technology and commercial products, to enjoy the popular entertainers of the time, and to engage in a collective community celebration. Although the CNE has changed significantly over the years, it continues to be one of Ontario’s great annual traditions and an event that offers substantial entertainment value for money. Taking place over the 18 days leading up to and including Labour Day, it is affectionately embraced as an end-of-summer ritual by more than 1.4 million visitors annually, visitors who reflect the rich diversity of Toronto and the region.

Mirvish Productions
From a young age, Caitlyn loved the theater- the music, acting, getting all dressed up and going downtown via go train or Subway. So it was inevitable that she would eventually coerce Arvil into going with her. To her surprise, he loved it. Ever since that fateful day, they have watched many shows, including having watched Phantom of the Opera like three times.
CN Tower
Classic tourist spot. You can get free admission if you have dinner at the 360 Restaurant!
Ripley's Aquarium of Canada
We went here for Caitlyn's 23rd Birthday!
Casa Loma
A prime example of modern Toronto’s commitment to its rich history, Casa Loma was first built in 1914 by financier Sir Henry Pellatt. The castle located in midtown Toronto, is now owned by the City of Toronto and is regarded as a treasured heritage landmark. Today, Casa Loma is one of Toronto’s top tourist attractions and hospitality venues. Each year over 650,000 visitors tour Casa Loma and the estate gardens. A childhood favourite spot of Caitlyn's. Also they have a wax figure of Drake.
Niagara Glen Trail
A fantastic hike and picnic spot... And for the outdoor adventurer, an amazing bouldering park with hundreds of climbs.
