Cherry blossoms (Sakura trees) will be appearing at locations across the city over the coming weeks. Cherry blossoms typically last four to 10 days and blooms are expected to peak this year in late April to early May, depending on weather and neighbourhood conditions. There are more than a dozen locations to enjoy this annual rite of spring, many of which are easily accessible by public transit. Learn more on the City’s Cherry Blossoms webpage.
It was such an honour last month to adjudicate and co-host the 2026 TMU SPROUT Case Competition. From the early brainstorming and mentorship sessions to the final polished presentations, these undergraduate teams demonstrated that their incredibly bright minds are ready to take on the challenges facing our city.
