Welcome to my newsletter for August. 

It's always fun to watch movies shot in Toronto, especially to see which parts of the city we recognize (and what's passing for Chicago or New York!) Toronto Life recently published a guide to the locations featured in the movie Suicide Squad. You'll find that link below, along with an interesting piece on short-term vacation rentals in the city and a new park that will cover Toronto's rail corridor.
 
The July market was a busy one - almost 10,000 properties changed hands. You'll find more on the market below.
 
Enjoy the rest of the summer!
