i see a merge in the verrrry near future!
Welcome friend...I'll offer a bit of insight into ITH
It's true, most of the events are in the evening time. But we tend to party well into the night, so alot are recouperating the next morning.
For those that do get up, there will be plenty of people at the Sheraton for breakfast/brunch/lunch gatherings, I would imagine..
That's not to mention the stuff you could get up to on your own and/or with the new friends you will most certainly make. Within a very short walk of the Sheraton is pretty much everything downtown Toronto has to offer like the CN Tower, Air Canada Centre and Rogers Centre for sporting events, the ROM (I would highly recommend, a must-see!), the AGO, many live theatres, restaurants galore of every culture/cuisine imaginable, Eaton Centre, Queen St W village, Yorkville, Yonge St, Harbourfront (dress warm!), and the list goes on. That's not even to mention the hundreds of club/bar options at night beyond just the ITH stuff.
All I'm saying is, if your adventurous, you will definitely not be bored, there's a ton of things to do in Toronto without even leaving the downtown core. To really be able to do it all, you'd probably need more like a week than a weekend
