Reopening the visionary centre created by Raymond Moriyama, reimagined and renewed for continued public enjoyment is a priority for Save OSC.
Stay tuned for a future announcement about community meetings in April.

Coldest Day of the Year RideΒ 2026
Today was the annual Coldest Day of the Year Ride, organized by Cycle Toronto, with support from the City of Toronto and Toronto Bike Share. Given that it was on the last day in February, it wasn't the coldest day of the year thus far, but no one was complainingβ¦

Line 2 turns 60 years old as of today ππ₯³ Toronto's most important east-west link (sorry, Line 5!) has shuttled millions of riders for decades.
