ART: A new exhibit called "Strip Mining for Creative Cities" at the Toronto Free Gallery examines the tendencies of gentrification to strip a thriving neighbourhood of its means by white-washing existing community infrastructure with consumer architecture. The exhibit is a collaboration between artists, students, architects, and urban geographers. The opening reception is tonight, followed by a party with DJs Dorian and Dorian. Toronto Free Gallery (1277 Bloor Street West), 7 p.m., FREE.

DISCUSSION: If anything is going to force you to stop triple-flushing (we know it's sometimes necessary) when you next use the washroom, it's tonight's talk inspired by Coach House Books' latest publication, HTO: Toronto's Water from Lake Iroquois to Lost Rivers to Low-flow Toilets. Join in the debate about Toronto's past, present, and future relationships with water, before we sell it all to evil corporations and then have to battle against pirate armies with strange half-dreaded hair and football shoulder pads who will roam our privatized lake system, pillaging private vessels as they please. Hart House Debates Room (Hart House Circle, University of Toronto), 7–9 p.m., $5.
