Maybe you've stumbled on a few news sites in Ontario during your travels through the web - with titles like like Newmarket Today, Barrie Today, Milton Today and more. In fact, there are 25 different editions in small towns across the province. 

But now publisher Village Media is hoping to fill an increasing gap left by the folding of Metroland's local newspapers.

It's launching a brand new online edition dedicated to hyper local events in the city called - not surprisingly - Toronto Today. (The same name, by the way, as Greg Brady's show on AM640, although the two are unrelated.) 

A greeting page went online this week, with a promise of a full launch coming later this year. It's promise: it will concentrate mostly on the downtown core. 

"We do not intend to cover the entire GTA, but rather just the downtown core. Our coverage will be focused on a defined geographic boundary: from Bathurst on the west to Bloor on the north, to the DVP on the east and the water on the south."

You can read the first splash page here. 

Didn't CFTO have a program in the 60's called Toronto Today?
