The CF Toronto Eaton Centre is the second largest mall in Canada and only an 8 minute walk from our place. If you're into baseball or want to live up the local scene, checkout the Toronto Blue Jays shop on the ground floor to get your fan fix. Or, if you're not from Canada, be sure to checkout Roots and Lululemon. These are Canadian-made companies to fall in love with.
