The Toronto Star is running a 10 week series called Turning Point. Ten winners were selected from over one thousand contestants. The contestants were paired with experts to support them in obtaining their personal goals. The series is informative and interesting. Have a look, especially if you are over 50 years of age. I am sure that at least one of the winner's goals and challenges will resonate with you.

We've subscribed to "The Star" for a couple years. If I had my way, I'd cancel and read what I want online instead but my husband is old school and likes to get the paper.
Two complaints ...
Do they have copy editors who proof it for typos, etc.? Every couple days I'll find some. Not professional at all. Also, on Monday they printed Tuesday's TV schedule instead of Monday's. Sigh ...
Why is Saturday's paper soooooooooo huge? For example, does anyone really read 17 Wheels sections (okay, I'm exaggerating but that what it seems like). -

A PERFECT MIX OF LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEFT-CENTRE NEWS!
I (HEART) The Star. Maybe its because my Dad read it growing up and I would steal sections of comics, but I can not seem to start my day properly without a dose of 1 Yonge Street's Good Reads.
I love the blend of local, national and international coverage in sections A & B, then always take pleasure in the Travel, A&E, Sports and featurettes that follow on.
Even when I'm travelling I find myself checking http://thestar.com for my daily dose of news. However, ain't nothing better than the real thing. Hopefully it will survive this current recycling/information age of existence that we all share... -

Superman creator Joe Shuster was once a paperboy for the Toronto Star. It's said that it was his inspiration for the Daily Planet.
I was there. Stood outside the building, took a picture and then later bought the paper from a newspaper stand. Decent paper, but I didn't care for the content since it was all about Canada.
Eh? -

I have a soft spot in my heart for the Star. Perhaps because I've been skimming/reading it since I was a kid.
For best or worse this paper most closely represents how a Torontonian views themselves, their city and the world. I'm not saying that it's accurate all the time necessarily, just the closest that any paper comes.
The sections never quite seem static and the weekend editions always have add and beefed up sections.
This paper seems to want to wear two masks: that of a major paper for a major city as well an informative local guide. It's easy enough to avoid either side of that should you desire.
I must also add that the best daily crosswords in the city are found here and the jumble is sweet too. -

After the article this past Saturday http://www.thestar.com... penned by Linda Diebel I am now a junkie. Hopelessly hooked on her smartly well written blog: http://thestar.blogs.c...
Dee-licious....Political fodder for the curious and engaged. -

The Star's got the highest circulation in the country, but is still a primarily city newspaper. I wish it had more "hard" news, and dropped such dopey sections as "Condos." I mean, the Sun doesn't have a "Tenements" section once a week, does it? Anyway, at least the Star is reasonably balanced editorially, unlike the Sun and the National Post.
One of my pet peeves about the Star is how they have two "A" sections, the local and national section A, and the "world and comment" section AA. It's confusing (since some stories, like about American politics, end up in both sections on the same day), and a bit pointless (some days section AA is a mere four pages).
