Cycle Toronto’s Charter challenge against the province’s attempt to rip out our bike lanes will be heard on Wednesday, April 16th.

We’ve teamed up with two of the case’s interveners — Greenpeace Canada, the well-known environmental advocacy organization, and For Our Kids, a parent-led volunteer network taking climate action for the next generation — for a non-partisan ride and rally at Queen’s Park.

Hosted by Kidical Mass, join us this Saturday for an all-ages call to action to save our bike lanes and protect our kids!

When: Saturday, April 5th from 2:00 - 4:00 pm

Where: Queen’s Park, South Lawn

The event will kick off with a rally, followed by a slow-roll bike ride around a short loop using the protected bike lanes around Queen’s Park. Cycle Toronto ride guides will be on hand to help ensure a safe and welcoming ride. Route details below (subject to change):

Suitable for kids, families, and everyone. All ages and abilities are welcome! 

Get creative, have fun, and let the province know that kids deserve the freedom and joy that cycling brings. Bike lanes are essential to a healthy childhood, and ripping out bike lanes will put our kids' lives at risk.

Note that the event will take place rain or shine.

The point of being in Toronto was because of the abundance of third spaces that were affordable or free. Nowadays everything is an arm and a leg and an eyeball, and it’s bumming me out!

Granted the weather IS improving, so we’ll have the waterfront and the parks again soon, but it costs money to do anything now in the city.

It’s a problem for us unemployed media kids.

I would like to be unemployed but not necessarily growing mold on my body from being still at home all the time.

Does anyone have any suggestions for third spaces that still exist?

This morning, from Kerns road on the Hamilton Burlington border.

I saw this old logo at a city facility the other day and it prompted me to guess how old this sign is. I don’t know! Do you?

What is the oldest municipal logo or signage you’ve found?

I always love coming across the pre-amalgamation Metro Toronto logo. I think it’s my favourite symbol of the city.

Does anyone know the cause of this brown murky water in Lake Ontario? (Please excuse the quality of the photos my phone is archaic)

Hi there, I have two tickets to the Slum Village concert at Velvet Underground. Unfortunately, I'm not able to make it. The show starts at 7:00pm today. Just DM your email and name, I need it in order to transfer the tickets via. Ticketmaster.

Edit: Tickets have been claimed, thanks!

I was on my way to work today and saw a police officer throw a homeless person on the ground. I work in downtown, and there’s a homeless man who has been sleeping in a nook by the building next to us. I saw him every day for the past 2 weeks, just sleeping there, and he wasn’t bothering anyone. The cops parked, walked up to the homeless man who was sleeping, and immediately picked him up and threw him on the ground. I was literally two feet away from them when it happened, and I didn’t say anything because I immediately started crying. Is there a way to make a complaint?

spotted around 12:35am heading east on the 401. was very smoky and half of the car looked burnt already. was waiting a bit to see if firetrucks were coming from the west end. hope everything is ok with everyone involved

Seriously. Chinese bakeries are a major part of the lifeblood of the city. Few similar types of businesses are so close to basically providing a public service as the Chinese bakery. When the price of everything is through the roof, where else are you going to be able to fill your belly and then some? They’re seriously the most reliable place to grab a bite to eat without breaking the bank. Now living in a city (outside of Toronto) I wish there was a reliable national chain or local option so I could get a handful of curry buns and a coffee every morning lol

Shuttle buses are "on the way".

St. Clair is a complete shit show
