Late Spring (!!) Brunch
**Though it's coming to late spring, one wonders if spring has even started; nonetheless it is time for another brunch,**
The future of the **Halton Peel Humanist Community (HPHC)** of which **Cafe Scientifique** is an initiative is in the balance and we want our members and friends to be aware of the challenges we face. Please join us and share your ideas, and especially what you can contribute to keep it going. We will soon discuss these matters more formally at the Annual Meeting of HPHC, but see no reason why we cannot start the conversation sooner. We’re all ears.
***Apologies for the relatively short notice***
Curious about the brunch menu at the Donegal Arms? You can browse it here: *[Brunch Menu](https://www.instagram.com/p/DLLKR7vP9dB/)* (though no promises it’s fully up to date).
**Parking tip:** Try the lot on Hurontario Street, just north of Donegal Arms and the two storefronts next to it.

🏛️🚶 DOORS OPEN TORONTO: HIDDEN BUILDINGS & CITY STORIES WALK 🚶🏛️
🏛️🚶 **DOORS OPEN TORONTO: HIDDEN BUILDINGS & CITY STORIES WALK** 🚶🏛️
Historic Spaces, Community Landmarks & A City Revealed
Some buildings you walk past every day without thinking twice… until the doors open.
Join us for a second day of Doors Open Toronto, where we’ll explore a mix of historic, cultural, and community spaces across the city — each with its own story, purpose, and evolution.
This walk is about contrast.
Old and new. Exclusive and inclusive. Grand and everyday.
And how all of it shapes the city we live in.
This is not a formal tour.
It’s a social, story-driven walk — with moments to pause, look, and see familiar places differently.
👉 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd)
\*\*\*
🚶♂️ What We’ll Do
We’ll move through a curated route of Doors Open, stopping at a variety of buildings and institutions that reflect Toronto’s layered history and community life.
Some of the locations we may visit include:
* **Fire Station 315** – Opened in 1889, this historic fire hall is built of brick with stone detailing, reflecting early 20th-century civic architecture.
* **The El Mocambo** – Opened in 1948, this iconic music venue is housed in a brick building with a classic mid-century commercial façade.
* **Daniels Building (University of Toronto)** – Opened in 1875 (as Knox College), this Gothic Revival building is constructed of sandstone with intricate masonry detailing.
* **U of T Bookstore (Koffler Student Centre)** – Opened in 1958, this modernist structure is built primarily of concrete and glass.
* **Polish Combatants' Association Branch 20** – Opened in 1950, this community hall is a modest brick structure reflecting post-war institutional design.
* **St. George’s Hall (Arts & Letters Club)** – Opened in 1891, this heritage building is constructed of brick and stone in a Victorian style.
* **St. George Greek Orthodox Church** – Opened in 1897, this church is built of brick with classical detailing and later Byzantine-inspired elements.
* **Street Health** – Established in 1986, the facility operates out of a practical brick building adapted for community healthcare use.
* **Street Haven** – Founded in 1965, this women’s shelter is housed in a converted brick residential building typical of the area.
* **Jarvis Street Baptist Church** – Opened in 1875, this Gothic Revival church is built of brick with stone accents.
* **The 519** –This building actually dates back to 1858 — long before it became The 519 we know today — and started as a Georgian-style home before evolving into a community space.
* **Foy-Smith House** – Built in 1891, this historic home is constructed of brick in the Queen Anne Revival style.
* **St. Paul’s Bloor Street** – Opened in 1889, this Romanesque Revival church is built of stone with a commanding tower and detailed masonry.
Some locations we’ll enter, others we’ll experience from the outside depending on timing and lineups.
⚠️ Please note: wait times are part of Doors Open. We’ll move as a group and make decisions along the way.
\*\*\*

Doors Open Toronto is a free annual event where the city opens up buildings that are normally closed to the public — from historic homes and cultural institutions to places you’d never usually think to step inside.

PRANIC HEALING® has been taught to doctors, nurses, massage
therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, shiatsu practitioners, and many others in the healing field. It has allowed them to heal confidently and consistently in the shortest learning time possible. These professionals find PRANIC HEALING® very effective and easy to apply.

Book summary:
On a hot day in Bethlehem, a twelve-year-old Palestinian-American girl is yelled at by a group of men outside the Church of the Nativity. She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.
