Happy first week of Spring! With the sunny and warm weather Toronto has been experiencing, I have been looking for COVID-19 safe outdoor entertainment. A great option for getting outside and getting a dose of Toronto's arts and culture scene is self-guided tours. The City of Toronto has created a wide variety of self-guided tours that delve into art, architecture, nature, and even ghosts.
