Extra, Extra: Sex Ed, Transformers, and Free Museum Admission

Every weekday’s end, we collect just about everything you ought to care about or ought not to miss.

The Liberal government has said that, despite criticism from social conservatives like PC leadership candidate Monte McNaughton, it will take a firm stand on updating sex education in the school curriculum. If implemented, it would be a contrast to the last time this issue came up, when the Liberal government folded a sensible policy in the face of a perceived political obstacle from a vocal minority. Not that there’s a pattern there.

If there’s one thing we learned from childhood role models, it’s that transformers are more than meets the eye. That’s the lesson in Spacing‘s article on transformer homes, which are dressed to look like respectable next-door neighbours, but really house high-voltage electricity. There are 79 such homes across the city.
Do you like free things? Of course you do, you smart and attractive Torontoist reader. The recently opened Aga Khan Museum—named one of Torontoist‘s heroes for 2014—has introduced free Wednesdays after 4 p.m. The weekly deal applies to all exhibitions; plus, the museum plans to introduce special programming and outreach to local Neighbourhood Improvement Areas in tandem with the offer.
