If you are around Toronto next week, you should come to my screening April 30th! This immersive video installation brings together family archives, oral histories, and soundscapes to map infrastructures of diaspora, culture, and community 🙌🏽 schoolofcities.utoronto.ca/event/homecomi…

@JohnLorinc @fordnation They want feedback let them have feedback! Gave myself a 3min max to write this, because I have better things to do with my time... probably also true of the provincial government but what do I know, I'm just a guy with 10 years of experience in city planning & urban design 😤

#topoli #onpoli Here's the notice on the bike lane removal with a feedback button. Give @fordnation some feedback. ontariocanada.com/registry/view.…

@IIutoronto @UnitedWay As for my own research with @UofTCities & @CCA I've been exploring the multi-generational connection to place, space, and community I'm realizing that this CLT work I'm involved in is an extension of a family tradition that goes back generations... but more on that later 😜

And thats not even the end of it - Community Land Trusts are part of the larger community services ecosystem, check out this report from the homies at @IIutoronto & @unitedway unitedwaygt.org/wp-content/upl…

Earlier in the fall I was in Vancouver for the @canadianCLTs annual summit! I was invited to help share some reflections on the growth of the @parkdaleland Neighbourhood Land Trust - check out the report here! pnlt.ca/wp-content/upl…

communityland.ca/resources/the-… A little treat for your ears and minds - episode 1 of the CLT Files!! A new podcast from the homies @cnclt_rcffc 🙌🏽

Out here in Nova Scotia to connect with folks from across North America all at various stages of organizing/ operating black led community land trusts! cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

Who is in Montreal next week and can help me move a large dresser?! Will pay in beer, pizza, money, and/or any combination of the above!!

@BlairScorgie @alexbozikovic Those parking lots are huge - enough space for significant development without demolishing the Science Centre

@alexbozikovic Because he wants to leverage the value of the land for private development. The most disappointing thing about this being that the two ideas are not mutually exclusive. In fact, development could pay for the cost of rehabilitation and maintenance.

Matlow: “For a fraction of the cost of paying off the beer store, Ford could fix the roof and keep the science centre open for years to come. So why is he doing this? Why is he destroying the things we value??”

1980's saw high immigration to Toronto. Brought with them knowledge and sounds of their respective cultures. Created a fusion. Might not be "original", but appreciation of different cultures was Toronto's sound and we should be proud of it.

Maps of black representation.

Dude ive been severely obsessed with this video

Teachers. Dads can be mysterious creatures. I look in the mirror and see his features. But what about him? This is the only the second year without him. I’ll play an old tune to hear his voice through the speakers. No doubt. Kin. Wouldn’t be half what I am without him.
