10 things to do in Toronto this week
This week is a cold one in Toronto, giving you all the more reason to go somewhere indoors with a lot of people sharing body heat. Fortunately, Toronto events like Long Winter and Clash of the Comics will let you do just that. If you feel like braving the cold, the new skate trail under the Gardiner opens up and the annual No Pants Subway Ride goes down.
