The Northern Super League has announced plans to add a 7th club in 2027, and league founder & Chief Growth Officer Diana Matheson told @abigailsegel.bsky.social all about it:

Diana Matheson details Northern Super League expansion process

The Northern Super League is growing. The success of its inaugural season has encouraged its leaders to commence the expansion process with an eye on adding a seventh team for 2027. “The fact that we were where we wanted to be in year one put us in a really strong position to start planning for […]

This ⬆️. @petertabuns.bsky.social and @paulafletcherto.bsky.social. We need protected bike infrastructure to get Toronto Danforth cyclists safely down to meet the trail networks along the waterfront. It’s not ok to share lanes with motor vehicles. #biketo

Such a massive disappointment from local leadership @paulafletcherto.bsky.social Worried about parking and not safe transportation infrastructure for the long term health of our city, its residents and the environment.

Shawn Micallef @shawnmicallef.bsky.social · Jul 4

Parking Before Life. Ought to be city's motto. Note this is not "Fordnation" but a deepest comfortable lefty part of Toronto. Jack Laytonland.

Consultation are exhibitions in self interest & selfishness & useless. Total rubbish. Elect a mayor and council and then fucking do something.

Colleen @cbailey6.bsky.social · Jul 4

"Staff decided to press pause... Despite finding overall support for the project [on Logan and Carlaw], people living on both streets opposed the lanes because they would take up parking spots."
Never doubt what matters most in Toronto.

Congratulations @clairecameron.bsky.social ! I can’t wait to get into this one.

I am extremely proud to say, my new book, HOW TO SURVIVE A BEAR ATTACK, is published today.

A memoir, an investigation, nature writing, plus a dash of fiction, it's a blend because I started writing with a question -- if I'm attacked by a bear, will I survive?

In 2025, the water of Lake Ontario looks and smells so much cleaner than it was when I was young. The threats to the water, however, are larger (looking at you, Mr. D. Trump).

I wrote about my love of the lake and its importance to our lives for @thestar.com

Claire Cameron: I run by Lake Ontario year round. Here’s why our lives depend on it

Claire Cameron has spent time at the lake in Toronto for decades, watching it change from a polluted mess to a thing of healthy beauty.

The importance of this photo can not be overstated. Professional women's soccer is coming to Canada. This is a dream for many and future inspiration for generations to come. Countless history-makers, goal takers and legends will be made.
This is just the beginning. 🇨🇦
