Hunt for beaver pelts, navigate through snow covered forests, live off of maple syrup. Sounds like it'll be a fun trip. :p

well It depends, If your friend is interested in the tourist thing or not if they are, they could visit:
Attractions : CN Tower, the Zoo, The science center, The Royal Ontario Museum
Amusement parks: Paramount Canada's Wonderland & Ontario Place
events and sports: the Skydome (rogers center)& The Air Canada center
Malls & other stuff: Eations Center, Pacific Mall & China Town
thats the best I could come up with with just a Summer time frame. If your friend likes anime and such there is also an Anime Con in May (Anime North) and a more general everything con at the end of august (Fan Expo)
Let me know if you or your friend needs more info
Hope this Helps!

she will be there from the second week of May to mid July. 8 weeks.
any suggestions for shopping?

That's a big time frame, so she'll find a lot on her own, anyway. The touristy areas are downtown by Yonge (pronounced young) & Queen streets. Queen West (of Yonge) has many shops which might appeal to her. It's a lot of walking so buying a weekly transit pass is a good idea. http://www3.ttc.ca
Bicycling is also an option. I bike myself but it can be dangerous.Expect dozens if not hundreds of homeless people begging.

Honest Ed's is a pretty sweet place.

Honest Ed's is like Wal-Mart with older merchandise. It's worth a look. I don't like how the only way out is by the cashiers, you have to squeeze past customers if you're not buying anything.
They sell many souvenirs of Toronto if she's looking for something to bring back home. Probably all made in China. :)Posted 5 years ago # -
What kind of stuff is she looking to shop for?
There are a bunch of big malls, but most of them have pretty much the same stuff, and if she's staying downtown, there really isn't much reason to go outside of eaton center for generic shopping and bay/bloor for high fashion. If she's looking for anime stuff, there's a shop called Anime Extreme around Spadina/Dundas, and a slew of comic book stores around the city (Hairy Tarantula, Silver Snail, One Million Comix).For Chinese Stuff, there is definitely no shortage as there's a pretty massive chinese population both mandarin and cantonese speaking. As others have mentioned, china town and pacific mall are some places to check out, and further north of pacific mall there are a whole slew of asian malls as well (Peachtree, First Markham Place).
As for touristy stuff, Ash covered it pretty well, though I might throw in Niagara Falls if she's there for 8 weeks and seeing the sights. It's by no means in the city or close, but there are literally tons of chartered buses leaving from chinatown to there every week and it's a nice day trip for touristy stuff, and speaking chinese will probably be even easier to book it.

Anime North is on this weekend in Toronto (May 27-29). I've got work Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, but I hope everyone else that's going has a great time.
