Tonight from the Humber Bay Park undergrowth, a view of the uppergrowth. Also sunsets are better when they are reflected.

First salmon catch of the 2025 season on the Don River. She's was a beaut and put up a good fight. She's been returned to the river to complete her task and spawn. #lovetheravines #DonRiver #DonValleyRambler #RavineRambler #parksTO #salmon

Today is British Home Child Day. This is the annual day that Canada acknowledges and honours the over 100,000 children who were sent from the UK to Canada to work on farms and in homes. They were separated from siblings and many were abused. This is their story. 🧵 1/12

This week I wrote about some of the problems & solutions in Toronto’s ravine system. Some are easy, some are a reachable dreams, like right of ways through all the golf courses, public & private. It’s the 10th anniversary of the unfinished Pan Am Path legacy project. Just finish it!

Sep 24, 1955: the last day on which Canadian National Railway passengers crossed the Detroit River between Detroit, MI and Windsor, ON by means of train ferry. From that point on, passengers crossed the border by bus, the early models painted in the new CN colours introduced a year before.

My review of Toronto’s new Mass timber tower: a quiet triumph. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

A few of Toronto's early skyscrapers are visible: 1. Royal Bank (1915) 2. King Edward Hotel (1903 + 1923 addition) 3. Canadian Pacific (1913) 4. Dominion Bank (1914) 5. Canadian Bank of Commerce (1931)

Nathan Rourke didn’t hold back when asked about the new changes announced by the CFL 😳

All this CFL news today had me reminiscing abet very solemnly on short period of time when I had a chance to photograph some CFL games. So I figured I'd dust off an old hard drive and pull up a few pictures to share, circa 2018-2021. 🧵1/3 #CFL #SportPhotography #TorontoArgos

I'm at home sick, feeling shitty.. Thanks you new Comish for adding to that. What a terrible announcement that will damage/kill the CFL and the game. When you mess with the fundamental aspects of what makes Canadian Football, it will not be Canadian Football for long. #CFL #Argos #CanadianFootball

Sep 18, 1858: the Grand Trunk closes its Don Station freight shed, moving its freight business to Queen's Wharf at the foot of Bathurst. Two years earlier, Don was the west end of the GTR line from Montreal and Queen's Wharf was the east end of line from Berlin (Kitchener). 1/2

CFL legend Ron Lancaster was known as The Little General. Considered one of the greatest players in CFL history, he led two teams to the Grey Cup. As a coach, he added two more Grey Cups to his resume. This is his story. 🧵 1/10

🎉 On this day in 1899, Toronto celebrated the opening of its new City Hall (today’s Old City Hall). Music played for 10 hours straight, but one detail was missing—the clock tower had no clock. The dials weren’t installed until November. #OldCityHall #OnThisDay #otd #toronto #canada #jeremyhopkin

Let's hear about some quirky Toronto! I'll start with the cannon at Fort York pointed at the Gardiner, whose path at one time would have trampled the site. (Pic is from a visit checking out some VR stuff...yeesh, 10 years ago?!)
