And in 2023, the number of people over 25 living with their parents jumped by 45 per cent compared to 2018, according to Environics Analytics.

Quality materials, interesting textures and inherent uniqueness are just some of the qualities vintage hunters look for.

The new flight route was introduced in January 2025, giving travellers an extra option for direct international flights from Toronto Pearson Airport.
