This store will be hit or miss. Something tells me it will do alright but only if people go down that side of the hallway. Right now majority of people are going to the right of stairs.

What they really need to do is fix that god awful exhaust fan right when you come in from the TTC. That stupid thing is beyond cold and powerful while blasting at full towards incoming passengers.

Toronto Public Health confirms case of hepatitis A at local restaurant

Toronto Public Health is advising anyone who consumed food or beverages at the Calii Love kiosk located at Union Station between May 14 and 29, and on June 8 and 9, between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on any of these dates, that they may have been exposed to hepatitis A.

An employee of the restaurant has a confirmed case of hepatitis A that was likely acquired during travel to another country. While the risk of getting the infection through consuming food from this kiosk is low, individuals who visited this restaurant during those dates and times should watch for signs and symptoms and practise thorough hand washing.

Toronto Public Health will be holding free hepatitis A vaccination clinics for anyone who consumed food at this restaurant on June 8 and 9 between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. The hepatitis A vaccine is most effective when received within 14 days of exposure. Those individuals who may have been exposed more than 14 days ago should watch for signs and symptoms of hepatitis A and seek medical attention should any symptoms develop. Symptoms can begin 15 to 50 days after becoming infected.

Vaccination clinics will be held at the rotunda of Metro Hall, 55 John St., on the following two days this week:
• Wednesday, June 13 from 3 to 7 p.m.
• Thursday, June 14 from noon to 6 p.m.

Hepatitis A is a virus that can cause liver infection. Symptoms can last a few days to several months. Most people who are infected recover completely. It is also possible to be infected and not have any symptoms. For symptomatic individuals, the severity of symptoms can range from mild to severe.

Common symptoms of hepatitis A include fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea/vomiting, dark urine, stomach pains and jaundice (yellowing of the skin).

Hepatitis A can be avoided by getting the hepatitis A vaccine, not handling or preparing food for anyone if you are ill and washing your hands often and thoroughly using soap and warm water. This is especially important after using the washroom, changing a diaper and before preparing or eating food. Always wash fresh fruits and vegetables. If you are travelling, especially outside of North America, be sure the water supply is safe before drinking it and use caution when consuming ice.

If you are concerned that you may have acquired hepatitis A or have questions about getting the vaccine, contact Toronto Public Health at 416-338-7600 or speak with your primary care provider as soon as possible. A fact sheet on hepatitis A is available at https://www.toronto.ca/community-pe...-medications-vaccines/hepatitis-a-fact-sheet/.
 
Are they waiting for the Bay concourse to be open before finishing the glass over the east moat? It's been like that for a while now.

They were adding glass to the unglazed sections of the metal framing at the west end of the Bay moat today. They still need to install one or two more metal frame sections but they have not yet installed the columns in that section (where the 'external' stairs are.) The 'missing' columns and cross beams (and glass) all seem to be on site and they are currently making the final repairs to the stonework in that area (above the 'external stairs) so I suspect it will not be long before they fully enclose that moat. They are also working on the 'foundations of the pillars for the Bay and York covers but last schedule I saw had these not done until Q4 2018.

They may also want to pour concrete for the moat bridge from street level, so they need that little opening.
Also, they may eventually completely close off this Front East moat to install granite floors. In that case, they need the Front West moat to complete and open first.

Yes, the opening would help with the pour for the 'walkway". I suspect they will do most of the granite floor in the Front East Moat in sections but you are right they will probably need to close it completely sometimes for the final sections. (Last time I could see anything they seem to have done about 80% of the granite floor in the Front West Moat and a couple of months ago they did award the tender to install the artwork in the section that runs under the main Union Station entrance plaza (linking Front East and Front West moats) so I assume they are getting closer to opening it all up.)
