It was developed to reduce the recurrence of complex health and safety risks, and ensure the safe integration and inclusion of vulnerable Torontonians in their neighbourhoods and communities by: Ensuring City of Toronto Responses are coordinated; Ensuring existing health care, social and community services are made available; Identifying and driving needed systemic reforms. The Open Dialogue on Vulnerability in Toronto series has evolved out of this mandate. OPEN DIALOGUE on VULNERABILITY in TORONTO SERIES On the third Friday of the month, SPIDER hosts an educational event called “Open Dialogue on Vulnerability in Toronto" series. The series is an educational forum that aims to: Increase awareness about situations impacting vulnerable Torontonians; Increase awareness about the programs and services available; Build networks and capacity across the service sector and; Create opportunities for operation and systemic level innovation. In efforts to minimize barriers to accessibility, events are held at the North York Civic Centre which is a fully accessible facility, located on the subway line and admission is free. Sessions are open to all Torontonians, and the audience usually includes a mix of housing, health care and social service workers, City of Toronto staff, Council staff and community members.

University of Toronto AstroTours. Speaker: Stephen Ro, University of Toronto. Half of all stars in the night sky are actually in pairs or “binaries”. That is, instead of a singular star like our Sun, these systems have two stars orbiting each other. Life here on Earth fundamentally relies upon the Sun’s (relatively) stable and quiet nature. Binaries, on the other hand, are sometimes found to exchange mass and more often explode! In this talk, explore a variety of binary systems and discuss whether the consequences of having two Suns are worthwhile. Enjoy a planetarium show after the presentation (registration required).
