Get ready to visit the metropolitan hub of Canada. Explore new grounds with the chest medicine community for current pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine topics presented by world-renowned faculty in a variety of innovative instruction formats.
You will have access to our cutting-edge education, Oct 28 - Nov 1, but don’t forget to take advantage of all that Toronto has to offer.
Food
Le Petit Dejeune offers an ever-changing menu that ranges from less expensive items, like soup, sandwiches, and salads, to some pricier stuffed crepes, quiche, and eggs florentine. While most Sundays, Saving Grace is packed, but there’s only a 15-minute wait, and the atmosphere is quite pleasant. Looking for the perfect cinnamon bun? Rosen’s Cinnamon Buns is the place to go. But you have to look closely for the bakery’s name, since the sign above the window still advertises the hair salon that used to reside in the same spot!
Nature parks
One of the city’s largest and oldest parks, High Park is Toronto’s version of New York City’s Central Park. There’s plenty to enjoy, such as Grenadier Pond, numerous ravine-based hiking trails, playgrounds, athletic areas, restaurants, a museum, and even a zoo!
If you want a different type of nature excursion, there is always beautiful Niagara Falls, Ontario, which is just a short drive from Toronto. Don’t miss seeing the Tesla monument in Queen Victoria Park, or go 10 minutes north of the Falls to the Botanical Gardens, home to the Butterfly Conservatory with over 2,000 butterflies.
Relaxation
After eventful days of absorbing all the new science CHEST 2017 has to offer, you may want to relax your mind and body. Elmwood spa, located in downtown Toronto, is where “four spacious floors of treatment and renewal options mean that Elmwood Spa can provide the convenience and flexibility to cater to demanding schedules,” according to Elmwood.
