For generations, many Indigenous communities have celebrated their culture and heritage at this time of year.

Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, in which Muslims observe fasting. It is one of the five pillars of the Islamic religion aimed to establish unity and equality among people through abstaining from all food and drink from dawn till sunset. It is a time to detach from worldly pleasures, exercise self-restraint, sacrifice, and gratitude. Why is Ramadan special to Muslims? The month of Ramadan is the holiest period in the year for all Muslims as the Holy Quran was revealed dur- ing this month. Muslims believe that good deeds will bring an even greater reward during the month of Ramadan than any other time of the year. For more information about Ramadan, visit: https://ing.org/ramadan-information-sheet/ or a local mosque.

  • Housing Co-Operatives, Self-Management, and the Landlord–Tenant Relationship
    ONE BAD BOARD AWAY FROM BANKRUPTCY: HOUSING CO-OPERATIVES, SELF-MANAGEMENT, AND THE LANDLORD–TENANT RELATIONSHIP by Josh Hawley A thesis submitted to the Department of Cultural Studies In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (May, 2019) Copyright © Josh Hawley, 2019 Abstract This thesis explores the development of the natural condition of co-operation into a large, apolitical movement and the effects of reshaping working-class people into co-operators. Semi- structured interviews, content analysis, and a limited autoethnography through a community- based action research paradigm, as well as a genealogical method, are used. A working-class analysis is applied throughout. In Ontario, residents of housing co-operatives are not considered tenants, following a history of legislation, legal precedents, and lobbying efforts by the co-op housing federations. This fact is manifested through the use of language, the shaping of co-op resident subjectivities, legal protections for residents, and the shunning of traditional tenant organizing direct action tactics to fight evictions and harassment. Six residents from five large-scale housing co-ops in Ontario participated in this research. Their experiences are compared and contrasted to the experiences of eight residents from seven housing co-ops in the Milton-Parc neighbourhood of Montreal. All 12 housing co-ops were created through state funding programs according to co-op corporation legislation. Residents of the Ontario co-ops expressed having few options when facing issues with their board of directors and staff. Residents are held responsible for the self-management of their housing project yet are encouraged to hire management staff.

  • The Dufferin Grove Park As a Neighbourhood Commons
    Dufferin Grove Park as a neighbourhood commons - stories from 1993 to 2015 - Jutta Mason Photo: Laura Berman Centre for Local Research into Public Space (CELOS) celos.ca Toronto 2016 Dufferin Grove Park as a neighbourhood commons Stories from 1993 to 2015 The parks, streets, community centres and other public places in Toronto are owned by the Corporation of the City of Toronto. That organization behaves quite a bit like any other corporation, with managers staking out their turf and workers defending their workplace. The people who drive on the roads or sit on the park benches or skate at the public rinks are often referred to as “cus- tomers,” “clients,” or “patrons.” There’s another way to understand a city’s public spaces: as a commons. There are various definitions of that word, for instance this one: The commons are the things that we inherit and create jointly, and that will (hopefully) last for generations to come. The commons consists of gifts of nature such as air, oceans and wildlife as well as shared social creations such as libraries, public spaces, scientific research and creative works. (www.onthecommons.org/about-commons). In 1993, Dufferin Grove Park took a turn in that direction. Here is a little collection of stories spanning the seventeen or so years when this commons was able to grow and put out its blooms. Many of the stories are told by or about the people in- volved. This is not a list, nor a ranking in order of importance, of the effort or ingenuity of the people who helped.

The assessment entailed consideration of the proximity of previously registered archaeological sites, the original environmental setting of the property, and its nineteenth- and twentieth-century development history. This research has led to the conclusion that there is no potential for the presence of significant precontact or Euro-Canadian archaeological resources that may be impacted by site preparation or construction activities necessitated by the proposed redevelopment. Accordingly, this report recommends that the undertaking be cleared of any further archaeological concern, with the proviso that the appropriate authorities must be notified should deeply buried archaeological or human remains be encountered during any future work on the property.
