I liked the Toronto Islands, a nice, cheap, getaway.

That and Canada's Wonderland, I like theme parks though...

Go to the gym, play football, play some sport, cinema, gigs, drinkin etc etc.

Its very easy to quickly do all the "touristy" stuff in a city and then your confined to the stuff common in all cities.

I was in Toronto for a while and didn't get bored. Great city.

There's quite a few vineyards near Niagra, if you like wine get a bunch of people who also like wine and at least one designated driver and do a tour, there are maps of the area marking out vineyards so it's not too hard to find them. I belive Dan Akroid has a vineyard out there aswell! or you can do the touristy thing and do one of the vineyard tours so everyone gets to have a sample

If you there at the start of september then the colleges are starting up again and they usually have a rag-week style weekend. Royerson (near Young and Dundas square) had a few of the streets around it closed off for two days with lots of stuff going on.

There's a food festival happening in the second week of August - http://www.tasteofthedanforth.com/tasteofthedanforth.php

The Toronto film festival is on soon aswell if your in to films.

Kensington Market is always worth a look although you might have been there already.

As for day to day stuff, what did you do when you where back home? The best way is usually to go out a few times, meet some people and get talking and they'll have a good idea of stuff that's going on. They have some good microbrewerys aswell! The steamwhistle brewery is fairly near the CN tower, you get a free glass of steamwhistle beer when you visit

Stand on the glass floor of CN tower and look down. You can get some class photos of yourself doing that.

The vineyards are great.
Take a trip up to Gananoque (sic) and go on a boat outing around the 1000 islands.
Travel a bit further east and there is a great heritage park where people model life in Canada centuries ago. Very interesting.
Head into China town - though you have probably already done that.

Take a stroll down De Grassi street.

A running jump is better, although some people look like they're about to have a heart attack when you do it.
