16 h. ago This huge cave hidden under Toronto will soon be a busy subway station

A future Toronto subway station is being carved out below a busy downtown intersection, just one of the so-called "caverns" laying the literal groundwork for the forthcoming $27 billion Ontario Line.At the core of the 15-station, 15.6-kilometre route between Exhibition Place and the now-defunct Ontario Science Centre, a six-kilometre tunnelled section will carry trains in underground tunnels spanning from Liberty Village to the Don River.But before tunnel boring machines can chew these tunnels, the station sites must be primed with excavation — a complex commission for construction crews to carry out in the constantly congested core.The ongoing excavation at the future Queen-Spadina Ontario Line station bears striking similarities to the operation at the nearby King-Bathurst stop, with vast subterranean voids now forming what will eventually be the stations' platforms and tunnels.At the Queen-Spadina site, Metrolinx has shared a detailed construction update ...

16 h. ago The history behind Toronto’s own version of the 'Stonewall' event

It’s been over 50 years since the events of the Brunswick Four, when Toronto police brutally assaulted a group of lesbians for singing a parody at the city's Brunswick House pub. While some academics have likened this moment to Canada's "Stonewall" — as this was one of the first major gay or lesbian topics that received extensive press coverage in Canada — the Brunswick Four have only in recent years begun to receive the acknowledgement they deserve.  The event also helped popularized the term "dyke," a word now used for Dyke Marches, Dykes on Bike and other initiatives internationally."Honestly, they all seem to have just forgot about it," says Adrienne Rosen, the only member of the Brunswick Four who was wrongfully convicted. Rosen, along with Lamar Van Dyke and Pat Murphy (now deceased) were arrested.  "Outside of a few [in the community], the gay movement never rea...
