Sometimes after a long, hot, busy summer day, I wish I could go home, jump in a pool and relax. I am sure you know the feeling, however not everyone has a pool at home. As Torontonians, we are extremely lucky to live in a city situated right on Lake Ontario, which gives us many opportunities to spend the day by the water. So where can we to enjoy the refreshing water in and around Toronto?

Ruins by Shandchem
Are you familiar with the three oldest buildings in the world? There are unsurprisingly disputes about this issue. It is extremely hard to be sure about the exact age of a building, and it is possible that some very old buildings remain to be discovered. Nonetheless, here are three buildings that belong among the oldest in the world, even though we can not say conclusively that they are the oldest. We can almost certainly state that neither the pyramids nor Stonehenge are the oldest, even if this is a common belief.

Movie Night by Ginny
It‘s movie time again! This time, I‘m going to talk about movies that were not only shot but also set in Toronto. Their number is much lower than those that were only filmed here, but some are definitely worth seeing. The following films are not Canadian productions, however, so they have made our city better known internationally.

Colours play a leading role in interior design. There is much more to colour schemes than just individual taste as your home’s “soul” can be determined by this palette. You may not even realize it, but a room can feel more comfortable, bright or elegant simply due to the colours you have chosen. How to select the right colours can be difficult, though.

Movies are an amazing topic for discussion. Everyone has their favourites, and many envy the lives of their favourite characters from film. Over the years, a great many movies and TV series have been shot in Toronto, and many of them are very well known. Most, however, are not actually set in the city, so few people know that they’re seeing Toronto and not New York City or Chicago, or any of the other cities Toronto gets casted as. Here are just three of the best known films from the past ten years that you might not have known were filmed in our city.
