Well, Toronto, we’ve been off to a messy start with November. The weather hasn’t been that kind to us and it’s a little gloomy out there. But at least it’s not expected to rain this weekend, so that means we have to make the most of it – before we’re covered in snow, that is. Nonetheless, there are a lot of things to do in Toronto this weekend that will keep your spirits up and out of that slump.
From ongoing events to weekend-only adventures, Toronto is jam-packed with the best things to do, so saying you’re bored is out of the question.
So, let’s get right to it, friends! We’ve got so many things to do in Toronto this weekend, and so little time.
