Urban Planner: August 25, 2011

In today’s Urban Planner: empty your pockets of change at Buskerfest, see some fantastic costumes in the likeness of anime characters, take a tour along Rob Ford’s “path of destruction,” join the last Art Spin bike tour of the summer, and hear what everyone is raving about at Adam & the Amethysts’ album pre-release party.

Weekend Planner: August 20–21, 2011

In this Weekend Planner: thank the brave men and women who have fought for our country, see street-style photographs from the 1940s that look just as cool today, fantasize about looking cool on a vintage two-wheeler, take in the night market that is Chinatown, and get your car washed while you're surrounded by a mob of zombies.

Urban Planner: August 18, 2011

In today’s Urban Planner: an art exhibit by the Swedish furniture makers whose furniture probably adorns half of Toronto's apartments; an art exhibit about faraway, exotic locales; multi-cultural dance along the lake; and the first ever Sail-In Cinema in Canada!

Weekend Planner: August 13–14, 2011

In this Weekend Planner: a film festival celebrating bikes and bike culture; a festival that is so good it requires “ALL CAPS!” in its name; a tour to discover how to source your own food for free from our local trees; a chance to laugh at, or with, Colin Mochrie; some innovative, turn of the century–inspired burlesque; and the last days of Summerworks.
