We provide a dedicated space for entrepreneurial growth and artistic expression, with a specific focus on supporting low-income creators. Our mission is to foster self-sufficiency and self-reliance by lowering the traditional barriers to entry for local talent. We specifically advocate for Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) residents, who often face systemic obstacles such as selection biases and prohibitive participation fees. By creating an accessible and inclusive marketplace, Summer & Shade ensures that the vibrant creative energy of our local community has the platform it needs to thrive.

Timeline: We will meet on location at 11:00 am, with lunch served between 12:30-1:00 pm.

Donations will be assigned before the event.

🌿☀️ SUMMER WALK TO THE EVERGREEN BRICK WORKS & MARKET ☀️🌿 Ravine Trails, Outdoor Market & One of Toronto’s Best Skyline Lookout Spots Summer is the perfect time to explore some of Toronto’s hidden green spaces — and few places feel as unique as Evergreen Brick Works. Join us for a relaxed social walk from St. Clair down through the ravine trails toward the Brick Works, where nature, history, community, and city views all come together. Even though you’re still in Toronto, parts of this walk feel surprisingly peaceful — shaded forest paths, creeks, birds, hidden trails, and eventually the old industrial buildings of the Brick Works opening up in the middle of the valley. And in the summer? The whole place comes alive. 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd) *** 🚶‍♂️ What We’ll Do: We’ll begin at St. Clair Station and walk down through the ravine system toward the Brick Works together. Once there, we’ll: 🌿 Explore the outdoor market ☕ Grab drinks, snacks, or lunch 🛍️ Browse local vendors and shops 😊 Sit, relax, and socialize for a bit Afterward, we’ll continue the adventure by walking up to one of the nearby lookout spots for beautiful skyline and valley views. 📸🌆 Then we’ll slowly make our way back together. And if at any point you feel tired or want to head home early, buses run directly from the Brick Works to nearby subway stations — easy and flexible. *** 🌤️ Weather & Expectations This event happens rain or shine. Please come prepared for: ✔️ Outdoor walking trails ✔️ Some hills and stair sections ✔️ Warm summer weather ✔️ A longer walk at a relaxed pace This is more of a social nature walk than a fast-paced hike. *** 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 Meetup Location: We will meet outside St. Clair Subway Station in front of the McDonald's — look for Mathew in his iconic Moose Hat 🫎 ⏰ Meetup Time: 11:00 AM I will only wait 5 minutes. Early is on time. On time is late. 🏁 Ending Spot: Yonge & St. Clair *** 🎟️ Meetup Fee: $5 cash in person or e-transfer to 📧 **mathewmaclean@hotmail.com** This fee helps support the group and allows us to continue hosting events like this. Thank you for supporting community! 💖 *** 🎒 What to Bring 💧 Water 👟 Comfortable walking shoes ☀️ Sunscreen 🧢 Hat or sunglasses 🥨 A snack if you’d like Guests are welcome! *** 🌿 More About the Brick Works From 1889 to the 1980s, the Don Valley Brick Works was one of Canada’s most important brick manufacturing sites, helping build much of Toronto itself. Today, the restored site has become one of the city’s most beloved urban nature spaces — combining historic industrial buildings, markets, trails, gardens, and environmental spaces all in one place. It’s one of those Toronto spots that people always seem surprised they didn’t discover sooner. *** 🌈 Who Is This For? This group is open to anyone who wants to be social and make friends — whether single or not. We also host: 🎬 Movies 🚶 Walks & hikes 🎭 Arts & culture outings 🍽️ Restaurant gatherings There’s always something happening. *** 💛 REMEMBER: You can just show up — or decide on the day if you’re not 100% sure. ⚠️ NOTE: Sometimes things happen and plans may change — please keep an eye out for updates. *** 👤 Organizer: Mathew Questions? Post on the event wall or email 📧 torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com Come for the trails. Stay for the market. Leave feeling like you escaped the city for a few hours without ever leaving Toronto. 🌿✨

Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together. Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions. If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming! Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event! Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event! **Discord**: We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event! https://discord.gg/xwjDdVSw3E **Event policy**: * We have 0 tolerance for harassment. * We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets. * The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do. * Please buy a drink, and tip the barista well.

Mike Cannon has quietly become one of the most dangerous stand-ups working today; known for his razor-sharp crowd work, brutally honest storytelling, and the kind of unfiltered comedy that feels like old-school comedy clubs before everything became safe and corporate. You’ve seen him on: * Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast * Chrissy Chaos * Barstool Sports * Comedy Central * Kill Tony universe appearances * and across millions of views online Now he’s bringing that raw NYC comedy-club energy to Backroom Comedy Club — Toronto’s underground dojo of funny. This is not a theatre show. This is stand-up the way it’s supposed to be: low ceilings, real comics, no bad seats, and absolutely nowhere to hide. If you’re a fan of podcast comedy, New York club comics, or uncensored late-night stand-up, this is the show you don’t want to hear about afterward. And with only 55 seats per show, these will sell out quickly. ## SHOW DATES ### Friday, June 26 * 8:00 PM * 10:00 PM ### Saturday, June 27 * 8:00 PM * 10:00 PM ## TICKETS General Admission — $35 Limited seating available. ## VENUE Backroom Comedy Club 814 Bloor St W Toronto, Ontario 18+ ## ABOUT BACKROOM COMEDY CLUB Backroom Comedy Club is Toronto’s underground comedy dojo — a raw, intimate room built for comics and audiences who still want comedy to feel dangerous, honest, and alive. No velvet ropes. No bullshit. Just killers, chaos, and the truth. Follow us on Instagram for clips, lineup updates, and future shows.
