Scaling Agile Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Toronto Vegan Climbing - Joe Rockhead's
Join us at our vegan-friendly social climbing session!
We welcome all vegans, vegetarians, or anyone who is curious about the lifestyle and/or interested in eating more plant-based.
No climbing experience is necessary. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time climber, all are welcome. We will be bouldering, top roping, and using autobelays - feel free to join whichever activity you're interested in!
For those who are climbing for the first time, not to worry as it is quick to pick up and we are happy to provide some pointers on technique. You can boulder or use the autobelays after getting a quick orientation from the staff at the gym. For top roping, we're happy to belay any of our attendees.
**Fees**:
* $28 admission fee, plus rentals
Climbing shoes are strongly recommended (disclaimer: rental shoes are not vegan as they contain suede/leather). Harnesses are only necessary for top roping and autobelay, but we encourage you to try it!
* Shoe rental: $7.50
* Harness rental: $7.50
Remember to sign the [waiver](https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/5acbb8d9c6cc8/web/) before you hit the rocks! You can sign the waiver online or in person once you arrive.
Happy climbing! 🧗♂️🌱
Note: Clean indoor shoes are allowed to be worn, however we highly recommend using climbing shoes otherwise your experience will be negatively impacted.

In-Person Writing Sprints
Struggling with motivation and focus as you hammer away on your manuscript at home? Want to join a community of writers as we embrace the joys and pains (mostly pains) of writing together?
Bring your laptop, pen & paper, old-school typewriter, or futuristic writing gadget, and join an enthusiastic community of science fiction and fantasy writers as we work on our current projects in the same space. The format will be similar to our online writing sprints: 30-minute blocks of focused, quiet writing time (the sprints), interspersed with breaks where we can chat, ask questions, and share our writing experiences.

Creative Relating - A Salon : conflict & repair
Do you ever find yourself looking for more from your relationships? Or finding that relating with others is challenging, and wish you could have help?
This event may be for you. We’re having an afternoon of organized discussion about what it means to be human and to relate with others, followed by some connection exercises to practice skills and techniques.
The discussion salon will include opportunities to share feelings in groups of different sizes. It’s a chance to feel heard and connected, and to practice openness and compassion and empathy.
The connection exercises, following the discussion, will provide an opportunity to learn and practice skills that are helpful for open relating. These exercises may include opportunities for gentle, non-sexual touch and may tenderly touch on challenging edges for some people, including the possibility of some clothing optional exercises towards the end. Participants are always at choice, including choosing to observe the exercise or leave this part of the program.
This month's theme is conflict & repair - this theme will inform some of the exercises and the discussion. But the overall format is similar from month to month. (Previous themes have included authenticity & vulnerability, and empathy & compassion)
After the salon there will be a small casual gathering with snacks and a chance to connect informally. The duration of the event is about 3 hours.
There is a suggested donation of $15 to cover the cost of snacks and materials. A donation jar will be available at the event.
Note that this event is being run twice, once on Saturday May 16, and again the next day, because the last two events we ran were full and we had to turn people away. The content of the event will be identical, but the participants will be different. The Sunday event is already full but there is a wait list, and there's a decent chance that spaces will open up before it happens. The Saturday event has space. Each day there will be up to 12 participants; some are coming from the open relating community via Facebook or other contacts, while others are new to the community and are coming via Meetup.
I will be asking registered participants and people wanting to be on the wait list for contact information other than Meetup, either a phone # for texting or a Facebook contact for messaging. This is because often things change at the last minute (e.g. spaces open up for the waitlist, people have questions about parking, etc., etc.) and I want to be able to contact you quickly, and experience has shown that most people don't check Meetup messages frequently enough to communicate quickly enough.
I will send information about address and logistics to registered participants a few days before the event.
Change the World in Eighty Days! Sunday afternoon pub :)
Socialize with exceptional people in a cozy pub.
Enjoy meaningful and stimulating, conversations,

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs.
This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context.
We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing.
