Blue Corner House Railroad

Zen Buddhist Temple

Buddhist temple

👍👍 I am not sure how to accurately convey my experience here with a simple review. But hopefully, someone will hear what they need to hear in reading what I write here. I started here in 2011, coming my first time simply to learn how to meditate. I had no intention of getting into Buddhism, as the id...

Old Orchard Park

Park

👍👍 It's a wonderful playground for kids, even with the pandemic. It has a great grassy area, but two minor concerns are the small tunnel under the tiny bridge, and some of the kids there are troubling. Then again, I definitely look a bit too much like tween to say that the kids will approach anyone :P

St. Bonaventure's Church

Catholic church

👍👍 St. Bonaventure is a medium-sized church located in Leslie, just south of Lawrence in North York, ON., (Toronto). In addition to the parish community itself, it is also run by the Franciscan friars, priests who are inspired by the works of St. Francis of Assisi. This is my first time here, visiting...

Toronto Holocaust Museum

Museum

🫤 Text heavy, more artefacts, footage, photography would have allowed for a more visceral connection to what happened. The mention of non-related Canadian indigenous history gave the sense of also presenting a current political bias as well as the horrors pertaining to the Jewish people people. Wonde...

Not recommend Her at al...

Suydam Park

Park

👍👍 This park is located just behind the Spadina forest hill village and is part of the larger ravine network. It is a great green space with benches and even picnic table.
