Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT)

Celebrate the opening of the Finch LRT by travelling to the end of it. Join us at Clairville where 4 cities meet: Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, and Vaughan. The area is mostly industrial, but that's where some good food places lurk, drawn by cheap rents. The cuisine here is predominantly Indian. See the most ornate Hindu temple in Toronto and check out its museum. The nature portion of the hike goes through the gardens and forests of Humber Arboretum (weather permitting). We'll hike through it before sunset. Then, it's on to the neighbourhood defined by Woodbine Racetrack, not to be confused with the Woodbine-Beaches neighbourhood where it was formerly located. It's notable for a mall with an indoor amusement park. The finishing point is at a casual Somali restaurant, which makes an accessible introduction to the cuisine for the uninitiated. Arrive earlier to check out the flea market because we won't be touring it. **Highlights** 1. Dr Flea's Flea Market (entrance N, depart 1:30pm) 2. Mr. Khaman / Chaiiwala Of London 3. Elsa's Bakery 4. Samosa And Sweet Factory 5. BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir 6. BAPS Shayona (depart 3:15pm) 7. Gwalia Sweets / La Ciel / Food World Supermarket 8. Humber College Learning Resource Commons (depart 4:15pm) 9. Barrett Centre For Technology Innovation 10. Humber Arboretum 11. Fantasy Fair 12. Xawaash (arrive 5:30pm) **Neighbourhoods** Clairville > Humber College > Woodbine Racetrack **Map** [https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1dzBpI8sOd557U_jAfOw7kiaxQkQpXQU&usp=sharing](https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1dzBpI8sOd557U_jAfOw7kiaxQkQpXQU&usp=sharing) If trails are snowy or icy, we will skip Humber Arboretum and go along Highway 27 from Humber College Blvd to Woodbine Mall. The Finch LRT stops close to the start and end of the hike, but a bus transfer is needed: bus 73 from Albion and bus 927 from Humber College. **How it works** Hike starts punctually. Late or can't do the whole route? Meet us at scheduled checkpoints. We'll browse many food places but won't linger long. Grab ready-made food, or see the route in advance, organize takeout, then pickup along the way. Not sure what to try? Join our omakase for $5, which gives a tiny sample from different restaurants. Payment on the day of event by cash or e-transfer to [globaltorontoeats@gmail.com.](http://globaltorontoeats@gmail.com.) No refunds after orders are placed. Details of sampled food will be uploaded after the hike. Limited cutlery provided. Highly recommended to bring cutlery and containers for omakase and bringing back leftovers. See our [homepage](https://www.meetup.com/hike-to-eat/) for more info.

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.
