Residents have reported that as many as 200 heavy-duty trucks a day have been bringing fill to an aggregate pit on Harmony Road N. since November, churning up mud to the point that conditions on the country road have become hazardous.
The Bloor-Yorkville corridor gets a lot of attention for its shopping, but for families, it's the Royal Ontario Museum around the corner, smooth subway access, leafy streets for stroller walks, and density of good cafés that make it the neighborhood worth settling into.
The architectural proposal organizes new construction and heritage structures into a cohesive campus, establishing visual and physical connections between the city and Lake Ontario. By consolidating the five existing Pods, the Cinesphere, and the new building into a unified spatial framework, the design reinforces the waterfront's civic identity while reinterpreting Ontario Place's original ambition as a landscape for public learning, innovation, and recreation.
Ontario will consolidate its 36 conservation authorities into nine across the province. Environment Minister Todd McCarthy says there will be no job losses as a result. He says the province listened to feedback after several town halls and 14,000 comments on its plan, which initially proposed having seven conservation authorities.
House on Georgian Bay, a 3,780 sq. ft. (350 m) year-round residence designed to replace a beloved but aging family cottage with a home intended to endure for generations. Grounded in principles of aging in place and long-term livability, the project reinterprets the traditional Georgian Bay cottage through a contemporary architectural lens.
Mont Sutton has been part of this landscape since 1960, when Real Boulanger cut the first trails through the woods with a deliberate philosophy: keep the runs narrow, leave the trees, follow the mountain's natural fall line. Considered the pioneer of glade skiing in Eastern Canada, Boulanger was inducted into the Canadian Ski Hall of Fame in 2019.
With its floor-to-ceiling glass walls and timber-clad ceilings, it was the only place in the ice hockey rivals' lives where curtains didn't have to be drawn. It was here, in the season finale (titled The Cottage) that the heat of their rivalry finally cooled into something meaningful.
Vermont actually resembles California - not because of its beaches but due to its distinct regions. For example, Burlington correlates to the Bay Area. And in the Northeast Kingdom, where I grew up, we classified everything below White River Junction as 'Southern Vermont.' Down there, half the towns seem to channel Boston or New York City, kind of like Santa Barbara to L.A., which makes the Kingdom something like Humboldt County - rural and spectacular, with a recalcitrant outlaw streak.
Picture yourself standing on a small platform in the middle of a Quebec forest, balancing on what feels like an oversized bird perch. The moment your weight settles, something magical happens. A bird call rings out, blending seamlessly into an ethereal soundtrack that seems to rise from the forest itself. Welcome to Human Perches, the latest installation from Montreal design studio Daily tous les jours that's making us rethink how we experience nature.
Whether you love it, hate it, or are just hearing about it for the first time, Alterra's Reserve Pass is likely here to stay. But if you don't know what the Reserve Pass is, it takes a slightly different appearance at a variety of Alterra ski resorts, generally encompassing a dedicated priority lift line and exclusive amenities. It's an intriguing concept, and one that makes sense in an ever-growing segmented ski resort product lineup.
While most are familiar with the world-class Mont Tremblant, the route there is dotted with independent resorts-each with a distinct vibe-that light up the Laurentians ( Les Laurentides ) like constellations against an ancient sky. These ranges offer something different than towering peaks: intimate terrain steeped in character. They tease the eye, spark the imagination, and possess a certain magic for producing champion skiers and snowboarders. Their ancient geology creates a singular landscape of rolling, forested hills and tight tree runs that feel worlds away from the mega-resorts.
A long weekend is finally upon us and it's bound to be a busy one with the Olympics, Valentine's Day and Family Day. The holiday weekend comes just as daytime temperatures slowly warm up into the positive degrees after weeks of brutal winter weather. If you're planning ahead to celebrate or break free from your winter hibernation, here's a list of what's open and closed on the holiday Monday.
Simon Larson, spokesperson for the city, said in an email Thursday that the city, together with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, evaluated the site and decided that that a "less intensive land use would better support ecological management objectives. "The Toronto Humber Yacht Club is the only boating club located along a river. Given the erosion and flood hazards present in the Humber Valley, environmental considerations are heightened in the site the Toronto Humber Yacht Club occupied," Larson said.
Love made me leave behind a place right near my parents in Houston to join my partner in a town without a single restaurant. I'd first met my partner a decade earlier, but we'd reconnected more recently - while long-distance - over a shared love of stories, coffee, and baseball. From the beginning, it was clear that if we were to close the distance gap, it would be me who moved.
