SCARBOROUGH - Practical Philosophy 🇨🇦
**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?**
Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎
Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic.
The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌
**📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?**
Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://tally.so/r/ZjaPO0), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going.
When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture.
**General Meeting Agenda**
Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline:
* 19:00-19:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the ‘official' start.
* 19:15-19:25 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines.
* 19:25-20:45 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them.
* 20:45-21:00 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo.
* 21:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other.
**🧧PRICING?**
Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! We just ask that if we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Some chapters rent a space for us to meet, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost of rent. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though!
💛 **WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY**
🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam
🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel
**🤓 FAQ**
* What will we talk about? What's the topic?
The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://tally.so/r/ZjaPO0).
* Do I need to study or read anything to attend?
No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required.
* Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?
The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school.
* Is it mostly men that attend?
Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms.
* Can I come alone?
Of course you can, we encourage it :)
* Can I be late?
Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation.
* Where do you meet?
The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://tally.so/r/ZjaPO0) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/).
🤝**POLICY**
To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately.) Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful environment.
**PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY - Making Philosophy Available To All.** ✨

AI as a Force Multiplier for QE Leaders | Toronto Meetup
**Note: RSVP's are closed here ; please register on the below link to confirm your participation:**
https://luma.com/9kmnz4x9?utm_source=mup
The Test Tribe 12th Toronto Meetup – AI as a Force Multiplier for QE Leaders
Most AI discussions in testing revolve around generating test cases or accelerating automation.
But for Quality Engineering leaders, the real opportunity is much bigger.
AI is not just a tool for execution - it’s a force multiplier for decision-making. It can synthesize fragmented data, reveal hidden patterns, connect siloed systems, and elevate quality from reporting metrics to driving strategy.
At the 12th Toronto Meetup, we shift the conversation from tactical AI usage to strategic quality intelligence - and what that means for modern QE leadership.
**Event Details**
* Date: March 25th, 2026
* Time: 06:00 PM – 09:00 PM EST
* Venue: 688 Richmond St. W. (3rd floor)
Session: AI as a Force Multiplier for QE Leaders
Speaker: Puneet Randhawa, Director of Quality Engineering, StackAdapt
About the Session
While AI can generate tests and automation scripts, its greatest value for QE leaders lies in connecting the dots.
In this session, Puneet shares practical, real-world ways QE leaders can use AI to:
* Connect data from Jira, CI pipelines, Slack, monitoring tools, and more through MCP servers
* Build custom GPTs for defect trend analysis and regression intelligence
* Transform raw dashboards into actionable, forward-looking insights
This talk focuses on operating at a higher strategic altitude - shifting from tracking metrics to building systems that generate clarity, alignment, and informed decision-making.
If you’re leading QE in a fast-moving organization, this session will help you rethink how AI can amplify your impact.
**Key Takeaways**
* How QE leaders can use AI to connect siloed quality data into meaningful insights
* Practical examples of MCP servers and custom GPTs in QE workflows
* How to transition from reactive reporting to proactive, insight-driven leadership
* Ways to elevate quality from operational support to strategic advantage
**About the Speaker**
Puneet Randhawa is the Director of Quality Engineering at StackAdapt, with over 15 years of experience building and scaling QE teams in high-growth tech environments.
She is passionate about transforming quality from a support function into a strategic differentiator - leveraging data, automation, and now AI to enable smarter decisions and stronger outcomes.
Puneet actively mentors emerging QE leaders and shares practical insights from the field, focusing on how modern quality engineering can influence business strategy and organizational impact.
**Why You Should Attend**
* Gain a leadership-level perspective on AI in quality engineering
* Learn how to leverage AI beyond automation use cases
* Discover practical methods to turn metrics into intelligence
* Connect with Toronto’s QE and technology leaders
* Be part of The Test Tribe’s 12th Toronto Meetup
**About The Test Tribe**
The Test Tribe is the world’s largest software testing community, empowering testers globally since 2018. With 700+ events and 150K+ members across 130+ countries, we bring testers together to learn, grow, and connect through meetups, conferences, cohorts, masterclasses, and more.

Survivalist Series: Introduction to Shelter Building
**Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on [our website.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/intro-shelter)**
***Learn the timeless skill of building functional, practical and well-insulated shelters from camping gear and natural materials found in the wild!***
For all of human history, shelter has been essential for protection, warmth, and survival. Learning how to read the land, choose the right materials, and construct an effective shelter in a way that does not negatively impact the local ecosystem requires knowledge, creativity, and hands-on practice.
In this course we will teach you skills for creating shelters and insulations in wilderness situations. We will discuss shelter and insulation principles, basics of thermoregulation, basic improvised cordage concepts for construction, and how to determine what kind of structures are necessary for various scenarios.
We will be practicing these skills in ways that promote sustainability, ethical conservation principles, and respect for our natural landscapes.
After two sold-out Firecraft courses, we are so excited to be back with the next incredible course in our Survivalist Series. You’ll begin to master the craft of shelter building with expert, hands-on guidance from our seasoned survival instructor and wilderness guide, Kyle.
You'll be taught and encouraged to practice:
1\. Identifying and selecting safe and effective shelter locations
2\. Building debris shelters\, improvised portable bedrolls\, and tarp\-based structures
3\. Insulation\, weatherproofing\, and heat retention techniques
This course will give you the foundation to build reliable shelters in a variety of environments and conditions.
**Who it’s for:** This course is for beginners and intermediate survivalists alike. Bring your curiosity, a willingness to learn, and a love of getting outside. This is an amazing opportunity not only to learn from our expert, but it's a fun, practical lesson at a uniquely low price.
**About this series:** The Survivalist Series is an expert-led set of courses designed to develop applicable, and life-saving skills in the wilderness. Keep your eyes peeled for more courses coming soon!

West Rosedale and Yorkville! Toronto's Hidden History!

Together for the first time in one Mega-tour, the history of the Village of Yorkville and Rosedale. Even though each village had its own distinct history and characteristics, the two were miles apart in their development. One was industrial, and the other residential, all under the watchful gaze of Mr. Jarvis. Oh and let's not forget the brewer Mr. Bloore, notice the spelling?
Named for the wild roses that littered the hills above the homestead of William Jarvis and his wife Mary, Rosedale is an iconic Toronto district with elegant houses, manicured lawns, and a fascinating history!
Yorkville to the southwest is tied in with the history of Rosedale, but barely, and runs parallel to the development of both the neighbourhood and the surrounding area. With the Yorkville Brick Works, and the tidy ravine to the east it was a picturesque part of Toronto that remained pretty much rural into the late 19th century.
On this walking tour we explore both districts, and how Rosedale emerged as an affluent Toronto suburb, but all was not good, as the district approached the 1930s depression. With a large proportion of rooming houses, Rosedale slipped in influence and affluence.
This walking tour is for all walking levels and fitness skills. Please dress for the season and bring water. And remember to bring your love of history.
This tour begins across the street from the Rosedale Subway Station in Ramsden Park. The tour returns to the start location after the walk!
This tour has a ticket price of $15.00 per person!

The Harbour Hopping Birding Excursion
Spring migration is starting to really come alive, and this exciting new Canada Bird Club outing is a wonderful chance to get out and enjoy the first wave of returning birds as they begin to flood back into Ontario.
There is always something special about those first signs of spring. Seeing your first Red-winged Blackbird, Common Grackle, or Turkey Vulture of the season is a real thrill. These may be familiar birds, but after a long winter, welcoming them back is always exciting.
For this outing, we will be harbour hopping along the Lake Ontario shoreline, focusing on some of the best areas for early spring bird activity. Lakeshore locations are often excellent places to find newly arrived migrants, along with impressive numbers of returning ducks and other waterbirds. One of the real highlights at this time of year is seeing large flotillas of ducks made up of many different species.
Among the birds we hope to see are raptors such as Bald Eagle, Red-tailed Hawk, American Kestrel, Peregrine Falcon, and possibly even Eastern Screech-Owl. Other early spring arrivals may include Eastern Bluebird, Eastern Meadowlark, Song Sparrow, Killdeer, Belted Kingfisher, Eastern Phoebe, and a nice variety of ducks.
As always in birding, there is also the chance of a surprise or two along the way.
Whether you are a seasoned birder, or someone who is interested in learning about birds, or a photographer who simply loves being out in nature, this trip is for you.
We will depart from Finch Station at 9:00 a.m. and head toward the Hamilton area, making several birding stops as we work our way along the Lake Ontario shoreline before returning gradually to Toronto. We expect to arrive back at approximately 5:00 p.m.
It should be a fantastic day out in the sun with good company, fresh spring air, and plenty of exciting birdlife. I would love to have you join us.
Cost is $99 plus tax, for a total of $112. Transportation is included.
Long Point Classic Birding Extravaganza including Ruthven Park
Greetings Bird Lovers,
Why do we keep returning to Long Point? The answer is simple. At this time of year, there is no place in Southern Ontario quite like it for the sheer number and variety of birds we can see. Our last few trips to Long Point have been exceptional, and every visit seems to deliver something exciting.
On our last two outings, we have saw several Bald Eagles, seen thousands of Sandhill Cranes, and enjoyed literally thousands of ducks.
At times, it feels like stepping right into a National Geographic special. The birding can be that good.
As spring begins to build, the longer days and milder temperatures make this one of the most enjoyable times to be outside. The first migrants are returning, Red-winged Blackbirds are beginning to sing, and the whole landscape starts to feel alive again.
For me, spring is the most exciting season of all, and Long Point is one of those places that never disappoints.
Long Point is one of Ontario’s most celebrated birding destinations and is recognized internationally as an Important Bird Area.
Birds are present here year-round, but spring is when things really begin to come alive. We will be watching for a wide variety of waterfowl, Sandhill Cranes, Bald Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks, American Kestrels, and whatever other surprises the day may bring.
We'll also be making a stop at Turkey Point for a chance to see rare Little Gulls and Bonaparte Gulls.
We are also stopping at Ruthven Park, where we have a chance to see Tufted Titmouse and Eastern Bluebird.
As always, I will keep an eye on local bird news, and if something unusual has turned up, we may adjust our route to give ourselves the best chance of seeing it. That is part of the fun at this time of year. You never know what might show up.
Whether you are a seasoned birder, a newer birder, or a photographer who simply loves being out in nature, this trip is for you.
Long Point is a wonderful place to enjoy birds, scenery, and the excitement of spring migration. Binoculars are recommended, and a camera is always a great idea.
One of the things that makes these outings so enjoyable is the friendly atmosphere. We always have a fun group, plenty of laughs, and a shared excitement for whatever the day brings. It should be a fantastic day out, and I would love to have you join us.
We will meet at the Finch Station Passenger Pick-Up and Drop-Off area at 7:45 a.m. and depart promptly at 8:00 a.m. We expect to return at approximately 5:30 p.m. after exploring several excellent birding areas southwest of Toronto.
There is space for up to 3 bird lovers in my vehicle.
The cost is $99 plus tax, for a total of $112. To reserve your spot, payment can be made by PayPal or by e-transfer to torontonaturelovers@hotmail.com. If you send an e-transfer, please let me know so I can manually add you to the trip.
Important: transportation is provided, and spots will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
Come join us for a wonderful spring day of birding, nature, and great company at one of Ontario’s very best birding destinations.

Hike Seymour Woods State Nature Preserve
We will hike about 1.5 miles on a loop then reverse to get about 3 miles. The trail is flat but there are some roots etc. protruding so I’ll be using poles.

Connected Westerville Night of Networking!
**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy*
You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life.
The problem isn't you. It's the format.
Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built.
Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else.
*That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real.
There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking.
Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum.
This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic.
You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation.
**April 14th. RSVP now.**
**When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081
