    Meridian Hall/The Sony Centre will always be the O'Keefe Centre

    I seem to remember many attempts with the tiles dating back to ca 2010 (when the driveway was changed). At that time, efforts were made to reuse the older pavers as they were "heritage" but they seem now to be using new replacements.

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Spoken like a true UTer. If things are good, there are perils in store and if things are bad then that's just to be expected.

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Happy to see this but a bit surprised as I would assume bridge removal (Old Eastern and Enbridge). Would screw up the new paving. Maybe they will open from at least King to Corktown?

    Streetcar Tracks on Adelaide

    Pretty much all the overhead support cables - the ones that run across the street - and the hangers - the things the contact wire hangs from - were up a couple of weeks ago and they had certainly strung some of the power cables and contact wires.

    Toronto Time and Space Condos | 101.8m | 29s | Pemberton | Wallman Architects

    One of the 'requirements' when the building was being planned was a mid-block pedestrian connection and these are very useful. This large one is certainly better than the rat hole at Jarvis//Adelaide (Vu) but .. Problem is that there are condo entrances on Lower Sherburne but zero parking...

    Toronto Basin Media Hub | 21m | 5s | Hackman Capital Partners | SOM

    Pigs might fly!

    Toronto Ontario Line: Corktown Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    The station, AFAIK. I think the tunnel boring starts in West Don Lands, where the underground line starts.

    Toronto Leslie Lookout Park | ?m | ?s | CreateTO

    Though the UT database page is great. If you used Google you would see TONS of info and location info.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    If fraud and duplication are a problem with OHIP cards are they not an equal problem with driving licences (or Ontario ID cards)? I know that I can buy a Provincial ID card but if OHIP had an address I would not need to

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    Maybe, but the Mexicans are well aware that the USMCA is up for re-approval by December 2025 and the rules are not quite as simple as you appear to think. This from Wiki: Automobiles Automobile rules of origin (ROO) requirements mandate that a certain portion of an automobile's value must come...

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Does anyone know if there is a rationale why Ontario Drivers Licences have names, photos, dates of birth and addresses and OHIP cards have only got names, photos and dates of birth (but NOT addresses). Both must be renewed every 5 years and for both you must inform the government of any...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    A few weeks ago I helped some puzzled tourists close to Billy Bishop Airport and emailed TTC to suggest they needed some signage saying where the TTC stops are and where the vehicles at them might take you. I just got this reply so we will see what it looks like soon, I assume. “Thanks for...

    Toronto St Lawrence Market North | 25.3m | 5s | City of Toronto | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    I am waiting to see how well the Farmers fit into their new space. As you might imagine, they were very unwilling to be moved from the old North Market but are now, I am told, not too keen on moving back! Change is a problem for some folk.

    Sudbury 22 December 2023

    I did not think it worth creating a thread but thought this video of the demolition of the Copperstack & Superstack chimneys in Sudbury might interest some of us.

    Toronto Birch House & Indigenous Hub | 50.3m | 13s | Dream | Stantec

    Look at https://aht.ca/ where it states: Welcome to Anishnawbe Health Toronto (AHT) When you become an AHT client, we welcome you with a holistic health care approach provided through an intra-disciplinary team of Western and Traditional health care practitioners. Who can access services at...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    The meeting is on now, 'in camera' but the YouTube channel is open and once the papal smoke is lit it will, I assume, unveil the Interim sacrificial lamb.

    VIA Rail

    As I will be on board the Canadian in 2 days, I concur! :->

    Toronto Quay House | 73.15m | 21s | Empire | Kirkor

    Define 'fine'. To my eye this is a VERY forgettable building that is, thankfully, not terrible large and (except for the mechanicals) not visible from my living room window!

    Toronto Regent Park: Phases 4 and 5 | 134.1m | 39s | Tridel | Karakusevic Carson Architects

    I think that this building used to be used by TCHC for their maintenance operations. I assume it is no longer used and it has looked abandoned for a while.

    Toronto McCleary District | ?m | ?s | CreateTO | DTAH

    I assume they are tenants and will, one day, be 'renovicted'. Nothing will happen here for years anyway.
