Our goal is to provide conversational language practice through informal instruction and feedback in a welcoming and diverse community. We invite all new immigrants, English language students, visitors to Canada, parents of children temporarily attending schools in Toronto, foreign university students, and anyone looking to enhance their language skills.

We begin every Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. with a time to socialize and connect. Our formal program begins at 10:30 a.m., and each week we will have different activities and topics, including practicing English conversation, reading short articles, learning about common pronunciation and grammar mistakes made by ESL speakers, etc. Our volunteers would love to get to know you and offer gentle and constructive feedback to help you improve your English!

Join us for an evening of curated speed dating, meant for those who earn 100k+ per year, and are professionally employed. An Evening of Uncompromising Standards: Verified Elite Speed Dating Welcome to the next level of speed dating. Our Verified Elite Speed Dating event is meticulously curated for accomplished men and women in their 30s and 40s who refuse to settle. We understand that your time is your most valuable asset, which is why we have eliminated the uncertainty of traditional dating. Every attendee in the room has been vetted through our proprietary verification system, ensuring that identity, net worth, and professional standing are not just claimed, but confirmed. This exclusive evening is designed to foster genuine connections among high-caliber individuals who share your drive, ambition, and appreciation for the finer things in life. Your ticket includes a welcome cocktail or Whiskey flight, and light appetizers before the event starts. Because this experience is strictly limited to our verified members, the caliber of conversation and the potential for meaningful partnership are unparalleled. This is our first ever Verified Elite event, so don't miss out! IMPORTANT: In order to qualify for this event, you must complete the verification process on the www.15firstdates.ca website. Start by creating a profile, then look for the Verified Elite link on the left hand side. Once approved, you will be able to sign up for the event. Please do not buy a ticket here. NOTE: The verification is done through our complex Ai system, and all personal data will be permanently deleted after verification. No one at 15Firstdates will ever see your information, and we will never keep or view any of the documents you upload.

**This is a ticketed event. Please register at [this link](https://luma.com/qzxavbjl).** ​Most AI governance proposals land in one of two failure modes: command-and-control regulation that can't keep pace with the technology, or heavy delegation to industry that leaves values-based decisions in private hands. In a 2023 paper, Gillian Hadfield and Jack Clark propose a third path: regulatory markets, where governments license private regulators and require AI companies to purchase regulatory services from them. ​Kathrin Gardhouse will walk us through the paper's core argument and what it would actually mean in practice: how regulatory markets differ from existing approaches, what problems they solve, and what they might get wrong. ​​​**Event Schedule** 6:00 to 6:30 - Food and introductions 6:30 to 7:30 - Presentation and Q&A 7:30 to 9:00 - Open Discussions

The old Aviary/Longslice location has been taken over by Lost Craft. Of course, they have trivia. Craft beer; tasty food; good times. Let's go back.

We are an informal group of scientific skeptics who promote critical thinking, reason, and empirical evidence, advocating for the scientific method to evaluate claims while opposing pseudoscience, superstition, and anecdotal evidence. We will get together for a social event to say hello to people we may have only met on-line, to reconnect with some long-time acquaintances, and to meet new people who may be interested in skepticism. We will not be having a presentation or a speaker, just a chance to sit down and have a meal and/or a beverage and a conversation with a pleasant group of fellow skeptics. (Monthly on-line Zoom meetings will continue as usual, on the third Friday of every month). Our previous venue, Prenup Pub, has closed, so we will meet this month at a **new location**, The Frog: A Firkin Pub, 4854 Yonge St, North York, ON M2N 5N2. Google Maps says it is about a 3-minute walk (200 m) from Sheppard-Yonge subway station, north of Sheppard, on the west side of Yonge. Food and beverages are available from the menu. Foods include a full menu from soups, salads, and appetizers to burgers, sandwiches, entrées and dessert. The beverage menu includes about16 different beers on tap, many bottled beers, ciders, seltzers, and coolers, as well as a selection of wines, various cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks. When you arrive, just ask where the "Skeptics" are. If you plan on joining us, please register so we can estimate the number of attendees.
