With a campus located in the heart of Toronto, students at Evergreen College are always enjoying the
sights and sounds of the big city. Toronto and its neighbouring communities (where Evergreen has
additional campuses) are truly four-seasons destinations that promise attractions for everyone all year
round. From art galleries to museums, sports, concerts and more, students find that there is no shortage
of entertainment options for them to enjoy.
Enjoy the sights of spring
After hibernating for the winter, spring can be a great time to get outdoors and enjoy the city sights.
What better way to see the city than from afar at the Toronto Islands. A short, scenic ferry trip will take
you across to the islands where you can view the city’s stunning skyline. There are several bike and
running paths on the island, along with beaches for warmer weather, picnic areas, and boat and bicycle
rentals.
Spring time is also a great time to root-root-root for the home team at sporting events in the city.
Toronto is home to many national teams including the Toronto Raptors for basketball, Maple Leafs for
hockey, Blue Jays for baseball, Rock for lacrosse and TFC for soccer, among many others. With several
stadiums in the city’s downtown core, spring time is a great time to get in on the action.
Soak up the sweet sounds of summer
When the sweet breeze of summer blows off Lake Ontario, it carries with it the sounds of the season.
Several music festivals heat up Toronto’s summer months including jazz music and Caribbean vibes. The
city is also home to several arenas, music halls and venues that play host to a whole host of concerts for
you to enjoy.
Summer in the city wouldn’t be complete without a patio. From rooftop patios to street-side eateries,
Toronto’s restaurant scene is sure to deliver something delicious (with a view) in the summer time.
Several food festivals are also a way to celebrate the city’s cultural diversity including Greek cuisine,
Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Spanish and several more.
Fall in love with the big city
What better way to kick off the autumn season than with a fall. Heart-pumping attractions are a perfect
way to embrace the city’s cooler temperatures, and Toronto has no shortage of adrenaline. From
Canada’s Wonderland to the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) and even an Edge Walk at the CN
Tower, you can certainly get your fill of excitement in the city.
For a taste of fall, you can enjoy fresh foods and produce at markets throughout the city. From
Kensignton Market to St. Lawrence and more, local producers and farmers set up shop throughout the
season to bring you the hometown flavours of fall.
Embrace a winter wonderland
When the temperatures take a dive, many students prefer indoor entertainment options. The city’s
historical sites, museums and art galleries can provide a perfect afternoon getaway where you can soak
up the city’s rich heritage. You can also warm up and refuel at one of hundreds of cafes and coffee shops
located on almost every corner.

With the holidays near at this time of year, there is also no shortage of festive events and attractions to
celebrate. From fireworks displays on New Year’s Eve to Christmas festival, students are sure to enjoy a
joyous holiday season at every turn.
With no shortage of sights and sounds, Toronto’s communities are sure to delight students from all
walks of life. No matter the season, there are attractions for everyone of any age and any interest. With
a connected road network and extensive transit system, commuting to city attractions and events is
easier than ever. Students at Evergreen College love studying in a big city that has so much excitement
to offer.
