Lifestyle & Recreation

For excursions on your study break or weekends and evenings, you are just a Go Train ride away from major attractions such as the CN Tower and the trendiest shopping districts of downtown Toronto—Yorkville, Dundas & Yonge, Queen West, China Town, Kensington Market, Church and Wellesley Village. After class or on the weekends, meet your friends to explore all that the city centre has to offer in sites, shopping, cafes, restaurants, night life, and much more.

Living in Toronto Heights also gives you the chance to explore the charming downtowns of Orillia and Barrie with their speciality shops, locally-owned boutiques and unique offerings in food, entertainment and small-town friendliness.

Experience the full four seasons of Canada in Toronto Heights. Not only are there many places in the surrounding areas for outdoor lab and field work related to your studies, between classes or after school, balance your studies with outdoor activities any time of the year. In summer, enjoy swimming at the downtown beaches, canoeing or boating on the pristine lakes of the region, or explore the network of urban and wooded trails by hiking or biking. Winter also offers bountiful opportunities to fully experience the season with ice-skating, downhill or cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, tubing, and more.
