Things to Do in Canada 167 (Toronto)

April 10, 2024

Good morning!

Did you know? Today is International Day of Pink. This special day began in 2007 when a teenager faced homophobic bullying at a Nova Scotia high school for wearing a pink t-shirt. Students organized to wear pink as an act of solidarity and it has become a day of action on the second Wednesday in April every year.

I’m sure you’ve all seen photos of the amazing solar eclipse Eastern Canada was able to see on Monday. Unfortunately, we only had a partial one here in Calgary, although it was still cool to see. Toronto, on the other hand, as well as Montreal and other parts of Quebec, Ontario, and Atlantic Canada, got to see it in its full glory.

It won’t be back now for quite some time, but that’s okay, Toronto is a great spot to visit either way. From world-class sushi to some of Canada’s top attractions, there’s no shortage of things to do in Canada’s largest city.

So without further ado, enjoy the 167th edition of the Weekly Goose.

  • Speaking of International Day of Pink, The Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) unveiled the first look of The Walter Cup- their new championship trophy. Beautifully designed by Tiffany and Co., the trophy is named after the Walter family, the league’s primary financial backer. If you’re keen on watching a game, the inaugural season ends on May 5th as four teams will then battle it out in the playoffs.

  • If you love travelling to visit breweries and distilleries, you might want to add Anohka Distillery to your list. After all, this small Alberta Distillery, which is located west of Edmonton, just won the Best New Make and & Young Spirit award at the World Whiskies Awards, beating distilleries from Scotland and Ireland. While this win is remarkable in its own right, it’s extra special since the winning whisky, titled “This is Not Whisky”, has not been aged at all.

  • Just like everything in life, the Nexus trusted traveller program is skyrocketing in price, moving up to US$120 from US$50. According to the Canada Border Services Agency, the old price was set 20 years ago and isn’t covering costs anymore.

  • Have you ever wondered why sinkholes occur in cities all around the world? Well, it turns out that many cities, including Canada’s three largest (Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver) are built over water sources and now you can learn about the ancient rivers hidden underneath Canadian cities.

  • Camping used to be about flexibility and spontaneity. Nowadays, however, with so many wanting to go, campsites in Canada have become way too difficult to book.
