If you’re not from the east, there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of The Avro, a small Queen Street East bar owned and operated by Rachel Conduit and Bruce Dawson. Since they opened their doors in 2010, they’ve been helping to reinvent the Leslieville area with a variety of community events featuring local talent. Most recently, The Avro launched a calendar project entitled “East Side Icon Project”, which honours some of the area’s unsung heroes. All the money raised from this project will go directly to community-building initiatives to rejuvenate the East Side.

Here’s a great look into The Toronto Transit Story courtesy of our friends at My City Lives. Whether you take the TTC or not, the idea of transit in Toronto should be an important issue to you. A city like Toronto, which is growing rapidly, not only downtown, but in the surrounding GTA, needs a better transit system. Take a minute to watch this video, and if you’d like to get more involved, visit coderedto.com.

Photography has never been so easy, with affordable digital cameras, smart phones, and apps like Instagram, everybody has the ability to take and share great photos. The new book “My Eyes, Your Thoughts” is a perfect example of how easy it is to create and share a collection of photos. Self taught photographer Taha Muharuma took a series of photos in Toronto, from March to November 2011, using only his iPhone4 (and iPhoneography apps).

A group of young people from Toronto have created “Youth Making Movements”, their aim is to inspire, motivate, and educate, while leaving a positive mark in the community. On Thursday, December 15, they held their first charity event, a 4-on-4 basketball tournament at Middlefield Collegiate Institute, in support of Free The Children. Toronto’s own Linda Luztono was on hand as the special guest host, and we donated some 1 LOVE T.O. t-shirts to help raise funds through their raffle. All together, they managed to raise over $500 in donations!
