One of my favorite photos of a rigger at Waterpark.

I love walking by the Ryerson student centre, there are always the same couple of security guards standing around. The way the street sort of cuts right through the construction zone also allows for more interaction with the construction site than normal for pedestrians.
 
Great thread idea! Always good to appreciate the workers that put their blood, sweat and (frozen) tears in constructing the buildings we adore.
