Built in 1793, Fort York National Historic Site is the birthplace of urban Toronto. It is best known as the location where the Battle of York came to its violent climax in 1813 during the War of 1812. The Fort served as the city’s primary harbour defence between the 1790s and the 1880s, and was the home of a military garrison until the 1930s.
Toronto proudly hosts one of the largest Pride Festivals in the world. Pride Saturday is one of the busiest day of Toronto’s Pride Festival, second only to Pride Sunday when the Pride Parade is held. The Toronto Dyke March is held on Pride Saturday. Saturday is much less crowded than Sunday, so it’s the best time to check out the street fair and those free shows at several stages around Church Wellesley Village.

Pride Toronto Streetfair is not just a place to grab some food or intriguing products, it’s also a place to people-watch and take selfies.
Not only Canadian Armed Forces come to recruit at the Pride, Canada’s secret agency CSIS does the same.

Toronto Dragon Boat Festival is an annual event held on the quiet, relaxing, beautiful Toronto Islands which are just a short ferry ride away from the city’s downtown core.
The Toronto mainland dock is near the base of Bay Street, south of Queens Quay. You can get there by subway to Union Station and get on a southbound streetcar, either the 509 or 510.
There is a central dock on the Toronto mainland from which three ferry routes serve the islands. One goes to Hanlan’s Point, one goes to Centre Island and the third goes to Ward’s Island. You can walk between the three docks on the islands. So you can’t really take the wrong ferry.
You may also take a ferry taxi to the islands and this is your only option when ferry workers are on strike.
