* Game 7, Round 6 - Canadiana Leisure - Lesser-Known Toronto Tourist AttractionsI got nothing.
For many people, tourism is a favorite leisure activity. Here are
some questions about ten lesser-known Toronto attractions for
those on a budget. All you need is your Presto card.
These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2025-03-03,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.

used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. The posting and tabulation of current-events questions is independent of the concurrent posting
of other rounds. For further information please see my 2024-08-30
