Canadian winters can be harsh, and a number of people book their vacations in January and February in order to escape them. Typically, they’ll seek out warmth on a tropical island or some resort in another country.

But what if you’re low on funds, on a tight budget and live in the Greater Toronto Area? Maybe you’re looking for Ontario debt help and don’t think that it’s worth spending that kind of money for the sake of getting away and going on a trip. Well, maybe you should consider a “staycation” instead.

Get to know your city more, make some great memories, and save money in the process by doing things in and around Toronto. By skipping out on the expensive vacations and staying home instead, you can help significantly improve your finances.

Here are some things you can do in Toronto in the winter that are cost-effective and fun.
