It's been a particularly tempestuous June this year, with storms rolling in under blue skies and dropping torrents of rain on the city before dissipating or meandering eastwards. There have even been reports of tornadoes touching down in southern Ontario. The picture above, taken yesterday from the Harbourfront Centre, shows a storm system approaching the city from the east. The funnel shape in the centre is actually heavy rain and possibly hail falling on......

Toronto has experienced some erratic and spectacular weather recently, so pair a thunderstorm with our often rotten, hollow tree canopy and carnage often ensues. This particular space became double parked around six this evening near Shaw and Harrison Streets, and though this type of destruction is not uncommon, things might have been worse. Now, would the owner of a black Volkswagen hatchback please report to the sidewalk? We have some bad news. Photo by......

The first Toronto running of the Idiotarod was held on Saturday, with six teams racing through checkpoints from Grange Park to Bellevue Square Park.

Not long after 11 p.m. on Thursday night, those just south of Yorkville got treated to an impromptu, spectacular, and very illegal fireworks show, launched by partygoers on a south-west facing balcony of one of the condos atop the Windsor Arms hotel at St. Thomas and Bloor. The first set of fireworks was visible from at least as far away as Museum station, where a small pack outside the subway watched, cheered, and shouted......

One of the highlights of spring in Toronto, High Park's cherry trees are blossoming. The trees, donated to the city by the citizens of Tokyo, are located in a sloping grove near Grenadier Pond and are a wonderful sight at this time of year. The trees are approximately 80% in bloom at the moment, making this weekend the perfect time to visit, as long as heavy rain doesn't destroy these delicate flowers. See the......

Following the unveiling of the EcoCab in Toronto last week Torontoist spotted the pedi-cab being presented to councillor Howard Moscoe outside City Hall yesterday.

Raising awareness for Sunnybrook's Underwear Affair, a group of daring individuals dressed in underwear-based costumes—makeshift superheroes if you will—entered Union Station's Great Hall during rush hour, and froze in place for five minutes, as home-bound commuters rushed by, doing double-takes all the way. The Underwear Affair is a 10k run and 5k walk on August 23, which aims to raise money for below-the-waist cancers, such as prostate and ovarian cancer. Costumes are encouraged! More......

Several hundred environmentalist activists marched through downtown Toronto on Sunday on "Reclaim Earth Day."

Photos by Miles Storey Whatever the critical analysis of Earth Hour last night—Toronto Hydro is reporting a 9% drop in power during the hour—its success seems assured by the large number of people who attended events and the awareness generated. Walking around downtown, there was a palpable buzz that Torontoist hasn't felt in the city since Nuit Blanche. In addition to the free concert in Nathan Phillips Square, there were successful gatherings all around......
