The Ontario Science Centre was shamefully closed by the Ford government. Now, we can’t allow it to be lost due to neglect. Please join us Sat, May 23, 1:30-4:30pm at Metro Hall to discuss realistic ways to bring it back to life, to serve the public again. savesciencecentre.com/may23m…

What will the four parties do about homelessness? Check it out!

Read Section 8 of Private Bill 55, "An Act Respecting Mount Pleasant Group of Cemeteries." It repeals 13 sections of various bills, some going back to 1874. ola.org/sites/default/files/…
