⚽️ FIFA World Cup 2026 Travel Advisory

With Toronto preparing to host FIFA World Cup 2026 matches and fan events, areas around Liberty Village, Fort York, and Exhibition Place will experience significant traffic changes, road closures, and local access restrictions on match days.

Even if you don’t live in the area, you may be affected if you commute through the west end.

Here’s what to keep in mind when planning your visits to our clinic:

🚧 Expect road closures and restricted vehicle access near Exhibition Place and surrounding neighbourhoods on match days

🚆 Transit will be the most reliable option, with increased demand across TTC and GO lines

⏱️ Travel times may be longer than usual, especially during peak hours and game windows

🚗 Driving and rideshare access in the area may be limited or rerouted during closures

We’re sharing this to help our patients plan ahead and avoid unnecessary stress or delays during their appointments.

If you’re travelling from the west end, we recommend:

✔️ Allowing extra time

✔️ Checking transit schedules in advance

✔️ Considering earlier departures on match days

We’re here to support you through every step of your fertility journey, including making your visits as smooth as possible during this exciting (and busy) time in the city.

Thinking about growing your family through surrogacy or egg donation?

We're proud to see our Director of Third-Party Program & Business Development, Lisa Hogan, sharing her expertise in this upcoming webinar on IVF Funding for Surrogacy & Egg Donation.

With extensive experience supporting intended parents through surrogacy and egg donation journeys, Lisa understands that family building involves more than medical treatment alone. It also requires navigating financial planning, logistics, decision-making, and access to the right support systems.

During this webinar, Lisa will be discussing funding considerations for third-party reproduction and share practical insights that can help intended parents better understand their options and plan for the journey ahead.

Whether you're actively pursuing surrogacy or egg donation, or are just beginning to explore these pathways to parenthood, this session offers valuable information to help you make informed decisions with confidence.

While caregiving roles are more shared today, many women still find themselves putting others first.

And the data shows that their own health is often the first thing to be delayed.

• 62% of Canadian women have postponed care due to wait times

• Many report unmet healthcare needs and barriers to access

• Globally, women spend more years in poor health despite living longer

The good news is that awareness is growing, and women’s health is finally getting the attention it deserves.

This is your reminder:
Book the check-up.
Ask the question.
Prioritise your health.

Because prevention matters. And so do you. 💜

Fertility is often framed as a physical journey, but research shows it’s deeply connected to mental health.

Recent studies show:

• Up to 60% of people facing infertility report psychological distress

• Mental health challenges can begin before treatment even starts

• Stress may even impact the likelihood of conception

• Many people report feeling isolated and unsupported

Sources: Clinical and Experimental Reproductive Medicine, Maternal and Child Health Journal, Human Reproduction Open, Health & Social Care

This Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s a reminder:

Fertility is not just a medical experience, it’s a psychological one too, and it should be part of that conversation from the very beginning.

This week, a major shift in women’s health was announced: PCOS is being renamed PMOS, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.
 
While it may seem like a small change in terminology, it reflects something much bigger. For years, the name “Polycystic O***y Syndrome” placed the focus on ovaries and “cysts,” even though many patients never had ovarian cysts at all. Meanwhile, the metabolic, hormonal, cardiovascular, and mental health impacts of the condition were often misunderstood or overlooked.
 
The new name aims to better represent what research and patients have been saying for years: this is a complex whole-body condition, not only a reproductive one. More importantly, this change reflects a larger movement happening in women’s health, one that pushes for better research, earlier diagnosis, more inclusive care, and healthcare systems that take women’s symptoms seriously.
 
Changing the name is not the final step. But it is an important step toward changing awareness, education, and ultimately, patient care. 💜
