This session interrogates the functional transition of ethical theory from academic discourse to industrial application. By examining the nuances of "on-the-ground" ethics, we will explore the pedagogical and structural methodologies required to move industry stakeholders beyond mere conceptual acknowledgement toward robust ethical activation. We will note the fiction between theoretical normative frameworks and the pragmatic constraints of the private sector. Ultimately, this discussion aims to identify how applied ethics can be effectively institutionalized within modern industry. About the Speaker: [Yoelit Lipinsky](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yoelitlipinsky/?originalSubdomain=ca), PhD, is a data ethicist at TELUS and has extensive experience in clinical ethics, including a position as a clinical ethicist at Providence Health Care. With a PhD in Healthcare Ethics from Duquesne University, her research focused on Catholic and Jewish bioethics. Previous roles include serving as a Mitacs Accelerate Postdoctoral Fellow in Ethics and Consent at The University of British Columbia, and as a clinical ethics fellow with the Provincial Health Services Authority and Providence Health Care. Yoelit also gained foundational experience as a clinical ethics student at Duquesne University, UPMC Mercy, and Squirrel Hill Health Center. **\* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \*** This is a talk with audience Q&A presented by the University of Toronto's Centre for Ethics that is free to attend and open to the public. The talk will also be streamed online with live chat here [to be posted]. About the Centre for Ethics (http://ethics.utoronto.ca): The Centre for Ethics is an interdisciplinary centre aimed at advancing research and teaching in the field of ethics, broadly defined. The Centre seeks to bring together the theoretical and practical knowledge of diverse scholars, students, public servants and social leaders in order to increase understanding of the ethical dimensions of individual, social, and political life. In pursuit of its interdisciplinary mission, the Centre fosters lines of inquiry such as (1) foundations of ethics, which encompasses the history of ethics and core concepts in the philosophical study of ethics; (2) ethics in action, which relates theory to practice in key domains of social life, including bioethics, business ethics, and ethics in the public sphere; and (3) ethics in translation, which draws upon the rich multiculturalism of the City of Toronto and addresses the ethics of multicultural societies, ethical discourse across religious and cultural boundaries, and the ethics of international society. The Ethics of A.I. Lab at the Centre For Ethics recently appeared on a list of 10 organizations leading the way in ethical A.I.: https://ocean.sagepub.com/blog/10-organizations-leading-the-way-in-ethical-ai

Over the next few years 40,000 Italians came to Canada between 1914 to 1918, mostly from southern Italy. Most Italians had moved west of Bathurst Street and the College Street area had emerged as the city's Italian enclave. By the 1920s, the community we know today as Little Italy emerged as a cultural and historic jewel in Toronto! Leaving southern Italy the majority immigrated to Toronto—increasing from 4,900 in 1911, to 9,000 in 1921, or two percent of Toronto's population at the time. But it was the massive influx of Italians after the second world war that changed Toronto forever. They brought a cultural revolution to the way Torontonians thought, interacted socially, and ate and of course drank coffee. The sidewalk cafe and patio is one of those things that evolved when the Italians came to town. And coffee is the best part of waking up, no that's Maxwell House I believe, oh well, need I say more! Hope to see you all on this walking adventure! 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 as well. The walking tour begins outside the **Lillian H. Smith** Library on College Street West just east of Spadina.

And over the years those faces have become sharper and clearer to residents and visitors alike. The tone has changed in Parkdale. And that is always a good thing. One of the main reasons why Toronto History Walks came into being was simply because the images of Parkdale at the time, 2019, seemed to convey a negative picture of the neighbourhood. Toronto residents wanted to avoid Parkdale at all costs based on assumptions. It was dangerous and better to avoid than explore. But those ideas have changed over the last several years. Parkdale is a great place to explore, have a cup of coffee or dinner and check out the arts and entertainment or take a stroll down a side street in one of the best preserved Victorian neighbourhoods in Toronto. Welcome to Toronto's first suburb, the floral suburb. And it truly is a remarkable place to get to know. What Parkdale needed most was understanding. And this walk provides the interested walker with that understanding of how Parkdale came to be, and why it had a rather sketchy history right from its inception in 1879. And it had to do more with the attitudes of the residents than reality. Attitudes that followed the growth of Parkdale to this very day. Parkdale just can't get free of its own legacy! From its beginnings in 1850 to the controversy surrounding the Gardiner Expressway, and the death of Sunnyside Amusement Park, the story of Parkdale unfolds, and it has a remarkable ability to climb out of depressed economic periods. This is a detailed exploration of the district. This tour begins at the southwest corner of King, Queen, and Roncesvalles, at the Polish memorial Katyn, just east of the Sunnyside pedestrian bridge across the street from the McDonald's. We wind our way through West Parkdale, and end the tour at the TTC stop for St. Joseph's Health Centre on the site of Sunnyside Villa! This 2 hour walking tour is for all walking levels. Please dress for the season, and hope to see you there.

You can e-transfer to the following email at:** **torontohistorywalks@gmail.com** The destruction of Toronto's downtown started on a windy, cold night in early spring. The above sentence sounds like a mystery novel set in Victorian England. But things were about to heat up in old hog town on that April evening. As the workday ended at the E&S Currie Neckwear company on Wellington Street at Bay Street, on April 19, 1904, a tiny flicker of light spelled disaster for the entire city. A police officer on the downtown beat spotted smoke and flames at precisely 8 pm. He headed to the emergency call box on King Street at Bay to alert the fire department, but by then, the fire had spread to the adjacent buildings. The fire department responded to a fiery nightmare as most of Wellington Street was already in flames. Moreover, the night was turning colder, and a stiff wind blew in from the north. Toronto's second great fire was about to explode out of control. Toronto was well aware of the dangers of fire. In April of 1849, a small fire started in stables near the corner of Jarvis and King Streets and destroyed the old downtown including St. James Church, and the market. By the time the fire was out most of the core of the old city was in ashes. Toronto, after the great fire of 1849, was a different place. The old town was centred around St. James Church, and the commercial district was then on King Street East. With the great fire and its aftermath, there was a shift west, both physically and emotionally; the central core moved to Yonge and King Streets as the city spread. Now the heart of the business district was at risk once again. And the stakes were much higher. The fire that had started at the E&S Currie Neckwear Company spread quickly along both sides of Wellington Street, as far as Yonge Street to the east and York Street to the west. But with a stiff wind blowing, embers touched off other fires to the south and southeast, threatening the historic Bank of Montreal building at Yonge and Front Streets. Ships docked at the Yonge Street and Church Street piers were moved to safety, and documents from the old customs house were packed up and moved to other venues around the city. Some business owners who had managed to get into their businesses removed precious documents before the flames engulfed their premises. Firefighters held their ground at several points, putting up fire lines, including Yonge Street just feet west of the old Bank and around the majestic Queen's Hotel. Help came in the form of Queen's Hotel guests, and staff as they moved from room to room and tore down draperies, and dampened the wooden window sills. Their efforts saved the Queen's Hotel and possibly the rest of the downtown, including the old Union Station south of Front Street. Had the Queen's Hotel been destroyed, the rest of the city may have been destroyed as well. Eight hours after the fire was first spotted, it was brought under control. Residents and business owners fled to the downtown core to watch their lives go up in smoke. Thousands of curious people crowded the streets around the burned area. Toronto would have to be rebuilt, and fire would be tamed through laws and building restrictions. But out of the great fire of 1904, a new modern city emerged; one such building was the new Union Station which was built on the ruins. The city hasn't suffered a great fire like the one in 1904, but came close to disaster in 1977, with the Eaton's Annex fire. That fire just about destroyed the new Eaton Centre. Where would we shop, that is the question of the day? and let's not forget 1871. And everyone thought Toronto was boring! This walk is for all fitness levels. Please dress for the weather. This walk begins and ends outside St. James Cathedral at 106 King Street East at Church Street.

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.

This is an in-person meeting. Would you like to know the Real You, not just a shadow of yourself? Does your life energy feel somehow trapped within? Does your self-confidence get easily shaken? Do you get in the way of your own goals? We will discuss the real source of all this, what holds you back in life, and how to handle it so you can achieve more successful and happier living. Perhaps you get weighed down with negative emotions you can't seem to shrug off. Or find yourself doing strange and irrational things - not really being yourself. We will cover why that is and tools that work to help you unearth your self, your self-confidence and motivation. This meeting will help you learn about how to effectively overcome: -Out-of-control unwanted emotions -Low self-esteem -Anxiety -Negativity -Stress -Irrational fears -Traumatic or painfully emotional incidents -Breakups -Betrayals -Feeling like you're not really yourself -Self-doubt...

The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
