    Dominating Nathan Phillips square this magnificent building and huge clock tower are a sight to behold. The clock tower rings out the hour, not so good if you are in a local hotel!

    Circumnavigate the building to look at all of the detail then rest on the front steps. It has quite a story and is stunning to take in.

    This is a lovely looking building that offers free tours every 30 minutes until around 5 PM.
    The front steps of the building is also featured in a Rush band album called Moving Pictures, of course my wife who’s the biggest Rush fan ever had to inform me of this.
    Anyway, we took the free tour which was guided and we enjoyed it. Photos are allowed which we appreciated. They take you through several rooms of the building explaining each one.
    After the tour, you’re free to look around the lobby area which has some interesting historical items and there’s a gift shop as well. It’s a nice interesting tour and it’s free so I’d highly recommend checking this place out.

    A great place to walk. The park is close to the University of Toronto, so my visit to the park was combined with that of the university. There were a few local people enjoying morning walk while I was there. Peaceful.

    Mel Lastman Square is above North York (Civic) Centre subway station (TTC station facing Empress Walk on Yonge street. its great for free outdoor events. Food trucks usually park beside Starbucks, close to picnic tables. Every weekend in summer it hosts cultural events. Mel Lastman stage/ amphitheatre is sunken, hemmed by the lengthy wall of the indoor pool, past the outdoor ping-pong tables. We attended the Korean Harvest Festival one weekend before Labour Day. There was tons of shellfish (clams, oysters), skewered beef and calamari. We bought chicken skewers ($5) and Korean bibimbap ($10) from the Uzbek-Kazak booth, by the Koreans who stir-fried carrots, chickpeas and beef rice in a giant wok. Little tykes would love it, since it’s mild—hot sauce is optional on the side. Bring a hat as there is very limited shade. Parking is on Beecroft near the Novotel hotel, or else across Yonge from Hollywood to the underground parkades at Hillcrest /Empress Ave.
