Finding the Venues of the Beach Studio Tour
If you bicycle or walk to tour these artists’ studios in the Beach, you should expect to see signs. The signs have changed since 2007; last autumn they used yellow bicycles to hold the signs, as noted in my “Wide-Ranging Fall 2012 Beach Studio Tour in Toronto“.

Things to do in Toronto
Check the “annual events” or “Toronto events” categories toward the end of the left-hand menu. We’d like to cover all Toronto summer attractions, and indeed all special events in Toronto; especially for Canadian holidays.
CityPASS offers discount tickets to Toronto attractions, including the Metro Toronto Zoo. You buy the voucher online, print it and take it to your first destination; let’s say it’s the zoo. They give you the coupon booklet but remove the zoo tickets. Visit the next four attractions, where helpful staff relieve your booklet of tickets but leave you with the rest of the information. You save over $40 by spending about $70. The voucher is good for almost two years, but you have to use all the discount admission tickets within nine days. This is terrific for tourists looking for multiple things to do in Toronto, or for a hometown stay-cation: use discount tickets to Casa Loma, the CN Tower, Metro Toronto Zoo, Ontario Science Centre and the Royal Ontario Museum in a nine day adventure. That’s five things to do in Toronto, and at a bargain price!
