Every weekday morning, bright and early, we feature a photo (or two) from a photographer in the Torontoist Flickr Pool. It's our way of giving the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention that they deserve. Great Hall BY APOLLO 11......

The Hidden Cameras are back home, and we are all better off for it. As we mentioned in this week's music listings, the Cameras––they of the Mississauga-bred now world-famous exuberant gay pop fame––are playing an AIDS benefit concert this Thursday night at the Great Hall in Hart House (7 Hart House Circle), with proceeds going to Toronto People With AIDS Foundation and AVERT International. The show, with Montreal's Sister Suvi and Toronto's Allie Hughes, will......

Our most anticipated part of the Toronto International Film Festival’s new Future Projections programme, the Into the Pixel exhibition, had its opening reception last night at the at the Ontario College of Art & Design's Great Hall, where it will remain until the end of the festival. The exhibition is worth seeing, and many of the large canvases are striking when observed in the flesh. And while, yes, an exhibition of paintings is an......

Another spate of announcements from the Toronto International Film Festival, with in particular an entirely new programme announced, Future Projections. To feature installations, interactive film projects, and other film-related art work presented outside the cinema space and throughout the City of Toronto, it’s to work as a companion to the Wavelengths programme. Eight of the nine multimedia installations will be offered as free, non-ticketed events, with entry to the Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery......

It's likely that Google knows a fair bit about you. After all, they know where you live and where you want to go, help you find what you're searching for, read your email and your IMs, know what's on your calendar, moderate your discussion groups, and even scan your essays and spreadsheets. Most of the time, this seems totally normal, but once in a while we ought to ask questions about what this all......

We're experimenting with a new daily photo posting. Each weekday morning, we'll pick a recent image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It's our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve! There's much we love about the work of Flickr user Uwajedi (Joel Charlebois). In his photo of Union Station's Great Hall (above), the colours -- indigo, gold, and chartreuse -- are......

Fourteen women engineering students were killed because they were just that - women studying engineering. On December 6, 1989, an anti-feminist gunman entered l'École Polytechnique de Montréal and murdered them. Tomorrow Toronto will remember the Montreal Massacre as part of the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, otherwise known as "December 6th." You can attend the YWCA Toronto daytime candlelight vigil at 1 p.m. at the organization's headquarters, or visit the......

Update 1: This evening's mayoral debates at Hart House began with a loud tirade by Parkdale's perpetually-running mayoral candidate, Kevin Clarke (above), which resulted in two 15-minute recesses. University of Toronto policy mandates that an event be cancelled before an attendee be forcibly removed, a rule put in place by SAC, the student government [thanks Jen!]. As of 7:27PM, the lights have just been turned on again in the Great Hall as we wait......

Disposable income seems to be the only sort of income Torontoist ever has (or doesn't have, as the case may be.) So, when shows like The Kit n' Kaboodle Show and Sale come up, it is pretty certain that bank accounts will run dry. Seeking help would be of interest, but more interesting is the gathering of over 30 talented Toronto designers and crafters on June 16th at the Great Hall at 1087 Queen Street......

Seems like it's just bad news piled upon bad news for the city's small theatres this fall... - First, falling closely on the heels of the closings of the Tim Sims Playhouse and the Poor Alex, Artword Theatre is told to vacate the premises of 75 Portland St by March (Hello condos!); - Then, the Great Hall at Dovercourt and Queen went on sale, putting the Theatre Centre's future in doubt (Hello condos?); - Now,......
