Summer&#8217;s stifling heat can make staying inside all to easy, and winter&#8217;s basically an 8 month hibernation, but fall? Fall is when our city&#8217;s at its most walkable, most liveable and, sometimes, most beautiful. Here&#8217;s five reasons we&#8217;re glad the weather&#8217;s cooling down.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. TIFF is here!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The film festival&#8217;s 40th anniversary celebration is underway, and we couldn&#8217;t be happier. TIFF&#8217;s a big deal on the world stage, and it&#8217;s great to see us in the news internationally. The caliber of the stars and the films gets better every year. We know Toronto&#8217;s a world-class city, and TIFF is one of those opportunities to show the rest of the world just how amazing we can be. Plus, last call at over 40 bars city-wide is pushed until 4am! You can&#8217;t lose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Fall leaves <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the best things about living in the city is proximity to urban life and a bit of fresh air. Once the colours are in full bloom, heading less than an hour out of town to Whitby&#8217;s conservation area, Barrie or Kleinburg will let you take in the leaves in all their glory. There&#8217;s no better place to down some apple cider and remember why Canada&#8217;s one of the most beautiful countries in the world, before shooting back home to the city.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Fall Fashion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re headed to <a href=\" http:\/\/theyorkdale.com\/\">Yorkdale<\/a> or downtown for some independent boutiques, Canadians are some savvy cold-weather dressers. We do cozy layers and autumn colours better than almost anyone. Grab a window seat and people watch, or go stock up yourself &#8211; this is one time when living with all four seasons has a major upside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. International Festival of Authors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You know we&#8217;re big bookworms here at Context, so having this event held in Toronto is extra-exciting for us. See readings, interviews, and find your next amazing read at this multi-day event &#8211; we&#8217;ll see you there.

Nuit Blanche<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our all-night art party is like nothing else, and we&#8217;re proud of that! This year&#8217;s lineup, honouring their 10th year, is above and beyond, and we can&#8217;t wait to put on our walking shoes and explore the city.
