Eye Weekly had two interesting bits in this week’s edition: First, Enviro columnist Gord Perks writes about the Big Pipe in York Region (the collection of cities and towns north of Toronto) and how the municipality is messing with the ground water and rivers that flow into Toronto. Also, St. Andrew’s Park, located west of Spadina and south of Richmond, is going through the final stages of its renovation, having been remade into a local playground and family park (look for a feature on the park in the upcoming issue of Spacing). But dogs run the show there and many residents are worried that without a barrier between the playground and the rest of the park, dogs may eventually hurt kids, and kids may get sick from dog feces and urine.
