Doug Wallace

Veteran international travel writer Doug Wallace has been based in Toronto for the past 35 years, watching it evolve with each decade. “There’s always something new in Toronto—a new neighbourhood on the rise, a new restaurant or gallery opening, a different bike trail to discover or a Harbourfront event to check out,” he says. Secret Toronto Spot: Ashbridges Bay Park. “I take my dog around the trail loop or I hop in a kayak on Woodbine Beach and paddle along the park’s south shoreline.” Instagram: @travelrighttoday
