The next event is happening on Saturday February 7 at 2:30PM at Danu Social House! Please RSVP if you're planning on coming so we can plan appropriately!

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/Da9fZFxPfs **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.

Join the Toronto Founders Hub every other Saturday at 3:30pm for our regular meetup at 5 Elements Espresso Bar. Sit down with other entrepreneurs to network and discuss business ideas or strategies. \- Broaden your network \- Get critical feedback \- Socialize in low pressure setting I look forward to seeing you!

It’s also one of the best places in the city to meet friendly people, share good conversation, and soak in the quiet magic of winter. 💫 **Did you know?** When Mount Pleasant first opened in 1876, it was a *Victorian-day destination*!

Led by the vibrant Alexander Shelley, our visiting friends from the National Arts Centre Orchestra promise an unforgettable evening!! https://nac-cna.ca/en/orchestra Experience the brilliance of Jean-Yves Thibaudet in Saint-Saëns’s sparkling “Egyptian” Concerto, paired with **Beethoven’s groundbreaking “Eroica” Symphony,** a stirring testament to resilience and the human spirit. One of Beethoven's most celebrated works, the ***Eroica*** (Heroic) symphony is a large-scale composition that marked the beginning of the composer's innovative "middle period. Composed in 1803....the dawn of the Romantic era. Beethoven’s music is characterized by large dynamic spans, from barely audible to dead-rousing, mirroring the full spectrum of the human experience—joy, sorrow, triumph, and despair. It is introspective and complex, yet accessible, and has remained a staple of concert halls across the globe for centuries. During the 2025/26 season, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra will present **six of Beethoven’s symphonies**, spread across orchestras and venues. **Ticket link here**-- Use this promo code for 15% off: **TORONTOISCULTURE** https://www.tso.ca/concerts-and-events/events/national-arts-centre-orchestras-eroica Promo spot is at the top of the page, right side. I'm sitting row S on Main Floor this time. FYI.

**Attendance policy is enforced for this hike** because it's a popular one. See below for details. Embrace Canadian winter by having ice cream! Deep winter is the best time for it. There are no line-ups and ice cream doesn't melt. And in Toronto, it's not so cold that ice cream becomes super-frozen. West Queen West has the highest concentration of ice cream joints in the city, so that's where our hike will be. We'll see street art in hip neighbourhoods and pass by attractions such as a chocolate factory and Dufferin Mall (!). At the middle and end of the hike, there is an optional tasting of signature ice cream flavours from various shops en route. For those who want something savoury, The Village by the Grange is a popular student hangout for cheap eats. The best of the lot is Manpuku, offering a large range of Japanese dishes. **Highlights** 1. Ruru Baked (depart 2pm; come earlier if you want to get something) 2. Dufferin Mall 3. Cadbury factory 4. Honey's Ice Cream / Death in Venice (depart 2:42pm) 5. Bang Bang Ice Cream 6. Outside Trinity Community Centre (depart 3:25pm) 7. Nadège 8. Sanko Trading Co. 9. Holy Shakes / Aux Merveilleux de Fred 10. Mizzica Gelateria / Kome Yogurt 11. OCAD (arrive 4:15pm) 12. Manpuku Modern Japanese Eatery **Neighbourhoods** Bloordale Village > Dufferin Grove > Brockton Village > Trinity-Bellwoods > West Queen West > Fashion District **Map** [https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1vii5YcymZ70QH0JX4kxzIoyIHUsj_tU&usp=sharing](https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1vii5YcymZ70QH0JX4kxzIoyIHUsj_tU&usp=sharing) **How it works** Hike starts punctually. Late or can't join at the beginning? Meet us at scheduled checkpoints. We'll browse many food places but won't linger long. See the route in advance, organize takeout, then pickup along the way. Two rounds of ice cream blind tasting. Outside Trinity Community Centre and outside OCAD. You can do the hike for free and skip the tasting. * Will contain dairy. We will try but cannot guarantee that we can accommodate other dietary restrictions. * Blind tasting means that you won't know which store or what flavour the ice cream is until the end. * Rate the ice cream and guess their main ingredients online: [https://forms.gle/b4YVczNry36JgGPz5](https://forms.gle/b4YVczNry36JgGPz5) * Tasting portions: at least 1 teaspoon of each flavour. * $10.

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.
