This is the big one. While supermoons happen a few times a year based on the moon's elliptical orbit, the one that will rise over Toronto on November 14th will be the biggest the Earth has seen since all the way back in 1948 (that's almost 70 years).
In fact, we're actually going to get two monster moonrises from this event based the timing of the moon reaching fullness. The precise moment when the moon becomes full is 8:52 a.m. next Monday, which means that it will appear full to the human eye on both November 13th and 14th.
What you're likely to notice most about this extra big moon is actually its brightness. This moon will appear roughly 30 per cent brighter than a full moon at apogee (its furthest point from Earth).
That said, it will also appear absolutely massive if you catch it in the moments when it rises above the horizon. "When the moon is near the horizon, it can look unnaturally large when viewed through trees, buildings, or other foreground objects," explains NASA. "The effect is an optical illusion, but that fact doesn't take away from the experience."
Watch for the moon to rise over Toronto in the east northeastern sky at 4:46 p.m. on November 13th and 5:30 p.m. on November 14th. You might also be able to catch the huge moonset on the morning of the 14th in the west northwest for a cool display that's even closer to the moment of perigee.
While this is the second in a string of three consecutive supermoons, it'll be 18 years until a moon so bright and big will return to the night sky. Make sure to catch this spectacular celestial event.

There's nothing pleasant about the screech of a TTC streetcar, other than the sound signalling that a streetcar is indeed on the way. But for some Torontonians, the noise is getting to be a bit too much.

The best mac and cheese in Toronto is the ultimate comfort food, whether it's the straight-up classic version or an interesting twist on the traditional. There's just something about this cheesy, carb-o-licious dish that makes us keep coming back for more.
A Canadian Pacific railway train covered in Christmas lights will be chugging through the GTA this month to celebrate the holidays while raising awareness for hunger-related issues in Canada.
Toronto's 1970s era slab apartment buildings are generally thought of an eyesore that we've inherited from a previous generation with divergent design principles. Of course if

In place of the brownish facade that has hovered over the neighbourhood for 40 years, the new version mixes shades of grey with a few blocks of colour. While it doesn't make the building appear brand new, it certainly makes it feel like less of a relic from a bygone era. The new design from 
With window replacement and some interior updates also planned, the idea is to get a whole lot more life out of the still solid structure. This is surely an example of gentrification, but renewing Toronto's aging apartment towers makes a lot of sense given what a crucial role they play in our housing economy.
About three months ago, Syd Patterson started building a skatepark on the dead-end Paton Rd. in the Junction Triangle. This morning, city staff demolished it, despite 
Today in Toronto it's U.S. Election night and there are many places to watch all the action go down. It should be an intriguing night of politics, opinions and nail-biting ballot results. If you're happy to ignore American politics, there are an impressive handful of concerts happening to help drown out the noise.

A little bar filled with copper and endless creativity huddles in a corner of Toronto, marked only by a pineapple above the window and an awning reading "This must be the place." We take you inside this hidden haunt, where cocktails are like drinkers: no two are ever alike.

Dress shops in Toronto aren't hard to come by - and many retailers have sections dedicated to dressier looks. While the city's horde of department stores have a whole whack of labels to choose from a number of independent stores are worth checking out for more curated or rare finds.
Every November 11, Toronto hosts an array of Remembrance Day ceremonies, but this year, the somber event is being amplified and extended all along Yonge Street with a special musical tribute.
