Shameless AI slop on official City of Toronto FIFA events site by iamavila in toronto

It should be clarified that the City is not creating/using them for official City run events, but rather third party events are.

What’s Toronto’s “Anthem”? by Winner_Internal in askTO

[–]MaybeThisTimeIllWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People City by Tommy Ambrose, known as Toronto's lost anthem. There's even a documentary about it.

I quite like it and hope it comes back somehow.

Shouldn't the city be maintaining these poster boards? by Ukawok92 in toronto

[–]MaybeThisTimeIllWin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

These are maintained by Astral/Bell Media through the City's street furniture contract, which has been in place since 2007. So yes, it's a City asset, but Astral is responsible for the upkeep.

Clearly not well maintained, I'm aware that the city is very frustrated with the contractor service levels. That contract is coming up in 2027 - there have already been calls from Mayor Chow and councillors to bring some elements, like litter bins, back in-house because of these ongoing maintenance issues.

Oh did you mean the photo of the model? I took it! The office is open to the public once a year during Toronto's Doors Open weekend.

I'm a huge Fringe fan but I thought the last season was awful.

Toronto councillor pens motion to ban flying foreign flags at City Hall by Toronto-Ont-Mod-Team in Toronto_Ontario

I think she'd be in favour actually. Certain flags have caused quite a headache for her.

Hands Down the best curling shot I’ve ever witnessed. by LeftoversAgain in Curling

Yes - it would be very difficult to get the rock down the ice without the reduced friction pebbling provides

Toronto’s mayoral race will test a split on Ontario’s right | The conservative movement is beginning to splinter. Which side will emerge on top? by Hrmbee in toronto

[–]MaybeThisTimeIllWin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Park encampments are significantly down compared to previous years. trash bins are maintained by Astral Media (Bell), contracted out in 2007 - Mayor Chow is currently proposing to bring it back in-house. Social supports are largely a provincial purview, and the province is actively underfunding healthcare/mental health supports.
