The Argonauts are playing the Calgary Stmpeders on the 24 at Skydome. The leafs are playing the Washington Capitals on the 25 at the Air Cananda Centre. I got this info from Toronto.com which will let you search by date. Let us know more info such as where you will be staying, if you're bringing kids etc.

It really depends upon your personal tastes:
If you like museums - the Royal Ontario Museum
Science: The Science Centre
Art: The Art Gallery of Ontario
Lots of live theatre
Shopping: some interesting stores on Queen St. West

For bars and clubs, check out the following website:

www.martiniboys.com

They review quite a few bars, clubs and restaurants around the city and describe the music, atmosphere etc.

Not too sure about Bond Place. Any particular reason you're staying there?
If the weather is good head to Harbourfront or the Beaches. Queen Street West is fun and interesting. Of course there is shopping and people-watching in Yorkville. By the way, enroute to T.O. you might want to check out Vineland Estates for a winery tour or lunch or dinner (near Jordan Station/Vineland).

There's PLENTY to do in T.O. beyond the Eaton Centre and CN Tower. Check out toronto.com for concert, club and bar listings. It lists them by type.

thanks guys, staying at bond place, because i can get the rate cheaper than anyother hotel, why is it rubbish....

I live in Toronto so haven't stayed at the Bond Place, but the location is good. You know, lots of times people seem to get so fixated at which hotel to book. For me, price is often my deciding factor.

Mamma Mia or The Producers would get my vote!
