Sunday's yours — sun, Cirque, and the Jays are on.
Mainly sunny and warm. Catch the game at 1:37 PM, hit Casa Loma, or lose yourself in Cirque tonight.
Morning's looking clean — 16°C, mainly sunny, and you've got nearly 15 and a half hours of daylight to work with. UV's running high at 9, so if you're heading outside, throw sunscreen on. Sunset's not until 9:03 PM, which means the evening's got real breathing room.
If you're moving around Yonge and St. Clair, watch for some street closures hitting a few blocks near Wood, Edward, and St. Joseph—they're tightening things up in that pocket today. Nothing major, but worth knowing if you're heading that way.
Couple things worth the headspace: There was a brutal multi-vehicle crash in Brampton yesterday that's hit a lot of people hard. And if you've got auto insurance on the brain, Ontario's redesigning the whole system come July 1, so that's landing sooner than later.
Food-wise, if you're thinking brunch or lunch, Church-Wellesley Village is firing up the weekend—Pride momentum's building, and the spots around there are worth hitting. If you're curious about what's coming down the pipeline, the team behind some solid Toronto Italian spots is launching Crema Gelato over in Mirvish Village this fall, so keep that flagged.
Sports: The Jays are home at Rogers Centre today—Texas Rangers at 1:37 PM. Good day to catch a game if you're into it.
For tonight, you've got options depending on the vibe. Cirque du Soleil's Luzia is running under the Big Top, and it's the kind of thing you want to see when the weather's holding and you've got time. If you're after something smaller and stranger, People Watching Collective's got Play Dead at Meridian Arts Centre (Lyric Theatre) at 4:00 PM. John Cameron Mitchell's doing the Hedwig 25th Anniversary Movie Tour at the Danforth Music Hall at 6:00 PM if you're in that frame of mind. Casa Loma's running their gardens and general admission all day if you want to stay outside and lean into this light.
With Canada Day landing Monday, today's still got that calm-before-the-crowd feeling. If you want to get out without wrestling the holiday masses, this is your window. And with sunset not dropping till after 9, you can play it long into the evening.
