TIME: 8pm – 12am
SHARE: Here’s our Facebook event listing
Our spring issue has been just dropped in the mail for our subscribers and will appear on newsstands starting May 10th. But that also means we have a release party coming up. Since our main focus is on housing it seems like the perfect opportunity to have a house party. Come join us for some backyard patio chit-chat and (hopefully) good weather.
Here’s what you can expect in the new issue:
- The cover section on housing examines a number of topics such as co-housing, neighbourhood homes that used to be cottages, the city’s first LGBTQ2S shelter, the pros and concs of the land transfer tax, when millenials buy a house, and how to resettle convicts back into the city.
- The history of the Bayview Ave. Bridge is explored in a photo essay from the Toronto Archives.
- Senior editor John Lorinc dives deep into the city’s largest ever archaeological dig right behind city hall.
- Plus lots of charming stories: Willowdale modernism, wild parks plants you can eat, the gender divide of park names, the disappearing greenery in the PATH, and a look at how Toronto has been a landing spot for refugees for over 200 years.

I’m enjoying your Housing issue and would like to share with you some of what I’ve learned in an exploration of co-housing, including some innovations beyond those featured in your article. Our group has collected quite a lot of information on co-housing at http://wineontheporch.wordpress.com, as we work toward our own co-housing solution, with a focus on creating a community for “aging in place.” Some of your readers may be interested.
