Transit Camp needs to happen again, maybe 2 or 3 times a year, and in other parts of the city. Take it to the 'burbs!

Good to know that the TTC are working on some of the issues that we're concerned aboiut.

"If you inspire people with tolerance and creativity on a city basis you can actually create a very competitive and propserous region." - Richard Florida

...amazed and inspired by how people are invested...there's people who want to have a social and cultural connection to the TTC ...it goes beyond utility...

...the opportunity for renewal...there is a movement and that's just inspiring...

Upcoming event: a gallery show, open to the public, of materials from this event.
