Being a tourist in your own city

I have a really complicated, on and off relationship with my adopted hometown, Toronto. In many ways, I think it’s a really great city – Toronto Summer is the epitome of life. I totally agree with the theory that Torontonians try to shove a year’s worth of cultural relevance in the three months that compose of summer. However, Toronto sucks for so many reasons – the cost of living crisis, kinda long winters, and for some reason related to climate change, a lack of sunlight. However, while I still live here, I’m determined to make the best of my time here. Here’s a list of things I will be doing this summer to make the most of a great Toronto summer:

• Visit a Toronto Museum that I’ve never been to
• Any sporting event I’ve never been to
  • Raptors
  • Argonauts
  • Toronto FC
  • Maple Leafs
• Comedy Show at The Second City
• A theater production at Mirvish
• A good street festival (Do West Fest, Salsa on St. Clair, Caribana)
• Kayaking
• Ontario Day Trip to a small town or hiking destination
• Canadian Opera Company performance
• A trip to Montreal

Let me know if I should add anything to my list, or if you’d like to join me! All feet and hands welcome.
