One of Canada's best-known printmakers, David Blackwood (1941–2022) put onto paper an enduring vision of Newfoundland. Born and raised on Bonavista Bay, his hauntingly beautiful images—suffused with struggle and myth—are drawn from childhood memories, dreams, superstitions, legends, and oral traditions.
Tracing Blackwood’s career from his first days as an art student at the Ontario College of Art to his final drawing, this expansive retrospective brings together more than 80 drawings and prints, alongside proofs, copperplates, and archival materials. Thanks to the generosity of the artist and his family, the AGO is home to Blackwood’s archives, and the largest collection of his work in the world. Curated by Alexa Greist, Curator & R. Fraser Elliott Chair, Prints and Drawings at the AGO, this exhibition aims to reveal the creative evolution of a beloved Canadian artist.

The CN Tower, also known as the Canadian National Tower or the CN Tower, is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In 1995, it was recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers and is a member of the World Federation of Great Towers.
The &quot;CN&quot; in its original name was an abbreviation for &quot;Canadian National&quot; and is now an abbreviation for &quot;Canada&#39;s National,&quot; though neither name is commonly used. Standing 553.33 meters tall, it is the fifth tallest free-standing structure in the world. Considered a landmark in Toronto, it attracts over two million visitors annually. Since its completion in 1976, it has been consistently listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest building until surpassed by the Burj Khalifa (Dubai). However, technically, the CN Tower is not a building, but a non-structural structure. The CN Tower is a landmark building in Toronto and the second-tallest telecommunications tower in the world. It boasts nearly 1,700 metal steps and stands roughly as tall as a hundred-story building. In 1995, the CN Tower was recognized by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Casa Loma

Historic buildings

iQOO🐮

The moment you step into Casa Loma, you&#39;re transported back to the days of the aristocracy of the early 20th century. Climbing the spiral staircase to the tower is a bit leg-wrenching, but it&#39;s well worth it&mdash;the rooftop view offers breathtaking views of the Toronto skyline. The underground wine cellars and secret passageways are truly adventurous, and I can&#39;t help but imagine the banquets the owners once hosted there. However, some of the furniture in the rooms looks a bit worn, and the signage is a bit blurry. My favorite part is the garden, where the roses are in full bloom in the summer, and it&#39;s so relaxing to sit on a bench and just relax. If you enjoy historical architecture and photography, this is a great place to take photos!

St. Lawrence Market

The moment I stepped into St. Lawrence Market, I was immediately greeted by a riot of aromas&mdash;the charred aroma of freshly baked bread, the savory aroma of seafood stalls, and the tangy sweetness of honey stalls! I waited in line for ten minutes at the Peameal Bacon stall, and it lived up to its reputation: the crispy, tender Canadian bacon sandwich was bursting with juice. In the antique section on the second floor, I found a vintage maple leaf brooch, and the owner enthusiastically explained its origins. The oyster stall is open and ready to eat, and a squeeze of lemon juice down your throat is simply breathtakingly delicious! Even on weekends, the crowds are so intense that I nearly knocked over the shelves while trying the cheese stall. The vibrant atmosphere of the city is so vibrant here that it&#39;s best to come hungry.

Art Gallery of Ontario

The moment I entered the Art Gallery of Ontario, I was captivated by the grand lobby&#39;s spiral staircase&mdash;the modern structure and classical exhibits so seamlessly blended! The exhibition of Canadian Indigenous art on the second floor held my attention the longest. The works, which used traditional symbols to speak to contemporary issues, were incredibly powerful. Occasionally, stumbling upon a Rodin sculpture or a Monet water lily, I felt like finding an Easter egg in a maze. The contemporary exhibition hall on the top floor was a bit difficult to navigate, but the twisted metal fixtures and whimsical fluorescent lighting made for photo ops. My only regret was that the lattes in the cafe were a bit pricey, but sitting by the high windows and gazing out at the streetscape was well worth it. It&#39;s a perfect place to spend a leisurely afternoon.
