Using a bike as one of your ‘urban mobility tools’ not only saves you money, helps you lower your carbon footprint, and get a bit of exercise, it can also save you a lot of time. You can choose your own route, stop anywhere you like on a whim along the way, and usually get there in a fraction of the time it might take if you were stuck in traffic.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>We’ll discuss the following: basic rules/etiquette of the road, rights and responsibilities of cyclists, how to properly lock your bike, traffic violations that apply to cyclists, what to do in case of a collision and how to avoid them, clothing / riding in all weather, using your gears, how to carry stuff, and other ways to make your ride more enjoyable. Undoubtedly, we will also get into the politics of cycling–oh joy! The Q & A portion should be most interesting, so bring your most niggling bikey questions – someone else will probably be wondering the same thing ;)</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>For More Information: <a href="mailto:heather@socialinnovation.ca">heather@socialinnovation.ca</a></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</span></font></div></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#bc00c3"><b>(Un)Sound Occupation</b></font><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">A 4-evening workshop dedicated to sound and politics</span><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>April 23 – 26, 7 – 10 p.m.<br>Trinity Square Video, 401 Richmond West #376<br>Free.<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>This workshop series offers a wonderful opportunity to explore a new way of conceptualizing protest, and the world around us: through sound.

In recent years this obsession has encompassed "extra virgin" olive oil. Is there a connection? With the enormous popularity and appreciation of extra virgin olive oil people are asking what is "extra virgin" olive oil? Why is it so desirable? Why is the industry around it so scandalous? This event is programmed by Beit Zatoun and offered by Peter Brickell, a chemist who is long-time supporter and serves as in-house chemist to Zatoun (the progenitor of Beit Zatoun - was it a virgin birth?). He has a natural teacher's ability to bring fascinating and unique insights into a food process many do not fully understand or appreciate. As has been revealed by the recent book, Salt, Sugar, and Fat by Michael Moss there are enormous, hidden and harmful impacts of food chemistry in our lives and health.

It will undermine the ability of communities to collectively decide what is in their best interests.<br><br>For more information on the days of action <a href="http://stopthetpp.webs.com/">http://stopthetpp.webs.com/</a><br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/188392284641268/">https://www.facebook.com/events/188392284641268/</a><br>Organized by the Latin American and Caribbean Solidarity Network, Common Frontiers and The Council of Canadians </span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><br><b><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#b03e1f">ChocoSol Chocolate Workshop<br></font></b></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Friday, April 26, 6 p.m.<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">225 Geary Avenue – just one block north of Dupont at Dufferin<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">We’re offering a discounted price of $25 per person (cash please).<br><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Our two hour sustainable, artisanal chocolate workshops provide interactive bean to bar chocolate education (history, technique, ingredients, how our chocolate is made); the opportunity to taste and enjoy raw ingredients, eating chocolate, and drinking chocolate; and the opportunity to purchase ChocoSol products.

We cannot talk about Toronto's water without including other groups and communities who are doing their own excellent and important work to protect our lakes, rivers, watersheds and aquifers that bring life to our region. You'll hear from riveting guest speakers from the Great Lakes Water Walkers, Lake Ontario Waterkeeper, National Farmers Union (Ontario), On the Commons, International Institute of Concern for Public Health, and Rising Tide Toronto. We'll also highlight the threat the proposed Line 9 pipeline poses to our region's watersheds.</span><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/557561544267101/">https://www.facebook.com/events/557561544267101/</a><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</span></font></div><div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div></div></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="5" color="#b2007f"><b>The Amazing Power of Pyramids </b></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Radmilo Anicic will present the latest results from Russian research about the pyramids<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>Saturday, April 27th at 6 PM<br>1291 Lakeshore Rd West, Mississauga<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>We will talk about scientific research about properties of pyramids done in Russia in the last 16 years; why Russians are building many pyramids in this time; what are the most important properties of pyramids<br><br><a href="http://www.blissfulhealth.ca/content/amazing-power-pyramids-april-27th-2013.html">http://www.blissfulhealth.ca/content/amazing-power-pyramids-april-27th-2013.html</a><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#0080a2"><b>Toronto’s 27th Annual Socialist May Day Celebration<br></b></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Concessions No More!

While most can agree on the sanctity of health, there is often disagreement over how our system should work - Who should pay? Who should deliver services? What should be covered? Recently, many have been looking at the merits of a national pharmacare program in Canada. Just last month, Pharmacare 2020: Envisioning Canada’s Future brought together various stakeholders in Vancouver while nine provincial governments negotiate a bulk-purchasing initiative to get better value for drugs. Arguments are being made on the basis of equity, accessibility, quality of care and cost savings. Join us to hear the answers to some of these questions and to ask your own! We will hear from our experts and have plenty of opportunity for discussion and organizing for action! Whether you are a student, a health care provider or a community member, these issues affect us all and we look forward to hearing your thoughts!<br><br>Students for Medicare advocates for maintaining and strengthening a publicly-funded, not-for-profit health care system. We affirm that the solutions lie within the publicly-funded system envisioned by Tommy Douglas and his eventual plan for a second stage of Medicare.
