Sunday's a beaut—20 degrees, TIFF's last call, and the Jays are home.
Mild, clear, and packed with things to do before the sun sets at 7:32.
It's a proper Sunday in the 6ix—20 degrees, partly cloudy, and that UV's running high at 6.0, so sunscreen if you're heading out. Way warmer than it's been. You've got just over 12 hours of daylight, so plan accordingly.
A couple of heads-ups on the roads if you're moving around: there's a collision blocking lanes on the 427 northbound at the 401, and a disabled vehicle tying up the right side of the 401 eastbound near Progress Ave. Nothing catastrophic, but worth knowing if those routes are part of your day.
On the local front, there's some real stuff going on. The cyclists are out pushing back against Ford's plan to rip out bike lanes—if you're in that conversation, it's happening on the streets today. Also worth knowing: the North York Women's Shelter's been turning away 132 survivors lately because demand is just outpacing what they can handle. And there's a woman wanted after a dog attack at Summerhill park—one person and a pet got hurt. Keep your eyes open if you're in that area.
Food-wise, there's a lot of movement. Canis, one of the city's most celebrated restaurants, is reopening in Little Italy if you're into that ting. And Anthony Rose's Schmaltz at Night is doing lobster rolls and queso wieners now—a whole vibe shift from the bagel days. If you're adventurous, people are also building this whole hidden food scene by scoring homemade meals on Facebook Marketplace. Worth a scoop if that's your lane.
Tonight is TIFF's last night, so if you haven't caught anything yet, this is your final window. The Ankler's got Alex Gibney in conversation at the Bassett at 4 p.m., and there are films running at the Lightbox all evening. It's indoor stuff, so perfect for the afternoon, then you can catch the sunset at 7:32 if you want to head outside after.
The Jays are playing the Baltimore Orioles at Rogers Centre at 1:37 p.m. if that's your Sunday move. And if you're looking for something totally different, Disney's The Lion King Live in Concert is at Sobeys Stadium at 4 p.m. Paradise Lost is also running at the Royal Alex at 5:30 if theatre's your thing.
So you've got a solid day ahead—sunny enough to get out, warm enough to feel good about it, and plenty on if you want to stay busy. Get after it.
