| Dear reader, As you may know, Canadian media is under attack. As a negotiating tactic in response to Bill C-18, the Online News Act, many large social media platforms are banning Canadian news content from their followers’ feeds. That means you may not see the Toronto Life content you’re used to reading.
The news is not all bad: there are many other ways of getting your regular dose of our award-winning content.
Our free newsletters—This City, The Vault, Table Talk and Curb Appeal—come to your inbox directly, ripe with our latest content across all our categories. You can sign up for those here.
Full issues of the magazine are available on Apple News here. You can also subscribe here.
And you can find a lot of what we publish on TikTok and X (formerly known as Twitter). Finally, please bookmark Toronto Life’s homepage so you can stay up to date on life in the city as it happens.
Thank you for reading,
Malcolm Johnston

I can create this.” His story, here. |

| | Starting tomorrow, Torontonians will be able to legally crack a cold one in 27 parks across the city—part of a new pilot program that will run through Thanksgiving. In celebration, Ben Lesczc, the co-founder of Wilda Natural Spritzers, is calling on the city to declare today a municipal holiday. The proposed Picnic Day would be a chance for Torontonians to spend time in public green spaces—and a boon for local food and bottle shops still feeling the pandemic pinch. |
