There was an in person/virtual thing on Sept. 24 re: the ‘development’ of 7 St. Dennis Drive. It was not exactly... or clearly... listed in the "Application Information Centre" (AIC) for the proposal for the "vacant lands" that are located across from the science centre, ergo beside 7 St. Dennis Drive which is the building that "backs" onto Don Mills Road and is owned by the same guy who owns 10 Grenoble Dr.

The local councillor's purported "notice" about the "public meeting" did not even mention the science centre, saying only that a station for the elevated railway will be located across the street. Actually the Ontario Science Centre is located across the street, and Metrolinx’s LRT ("now under construction") science centre station is located hundreds of meters to the north.

It took me a while, but when I finally drilled down to the actual meeting agenda - and the purported notice it was clear that the materials do not mention the science centre, or 200 Gateway (next door by what, a distance of 100 meters? 200 meters??! It is never, ever mentioned) or any previous meetings or consultations or any railway.[/color]

Various points: The city of Toronto's Zoom thing re: the demolitions/demovictions by-law took place on Sept. 9. A few notes are posted here; see also the renovictions-bylaw sub-page

The Akelius Network's "Renters Forum" went down (without warning or explanation) in mid-June.

There was a surprise event at the Westin Harbour Castle on July 7. Public school people were hosting a talk by Dr. Jodie Lobana - who was billed as a “governance of A.I. educator”. According to organizers the Ontario Public School Boards Association, artificial intelligence is the “next frontier”.

Some of Dr. Lobana's stuff seems a bit thin. We'll have to see how this plays out in area schools.

Of course keywords like “artificial” and “GPT” did not appear on the web pages of the local (Toronto) school board during the summer break.

Straw poll: What do you think of the more-structured calendar format that web pages like “Indexers dot C A” use? https://indexers.ca/events/

The main feature seems to be that individual days in any month can have pop-up bubbles. Of course I have no idea whether this sort of thing has been audited for use by people with low vision.

Here's a look at another version of a site calendar - one that uses Google.
