There's lots, I'd suggest the city rinks during adult skating hours (they've got stupid rules during crowded public skate sessions)

The universities and colleges mostly have arenas which are not too busy. They're in quite different areas of the city, so see which ones are close.

While visiting Toronto a while back, I skated on a weekend session run by University Skating Club (the U of T) at Varsity Arena. I called them weeks in advance to book the session. As a USFSA member, I had to jump through a few hoops to walk on, and it cost at least $20CDN, but it's a historic rink, and its midtown location is fabulous, particularly if you're staying in that part of town. It was only steps away from my hotel.

Cheers,
Raine

Harbourfront. I like that rink, it usually isn't too crowded.

Oh, and for clubs, there's a list at:

I'm sure you can find one in there somewhere.
