It’s that time of the year again: Doors Open Toronto takes place this weekend. 140 buildings of architectural, historic or cultural significance will open their doors to the public for free so that you can explore! It’s a great way to get to know the city and you’ll be surprised at the treasures we’ve got. For more details, see the Doors Open Toronto site and this Torontoist article. Maria’s got a plan, too.

The first of this summer’s car-free “Pedestrian Sundays” in Kensington Market takes place this weekend.

If the weather forecast is correct, Saturday and Sunday should give us some sun and warmth (Sunday’s high is supposed to be 27 degrees C), so you might want to head to the Annex and get some ice cream from Sweet Fantasies, which carries regular, dairy-free, low-fat and now organic ice cream.
