Hello! Mark your calendars for 19 Jan. We expect to be back at the One Yonge recreation center, but we'll let you know if that changes. What time? Don't know yet. We'll announce it when we have the space booked. Have a good day! -- Lego

Marathon this morning
by Lego 20 Oct '24

20 Oct '24

if you are taking transit to Union Station, I recommend taking the sky bridge to the Union Station bus terminal and coming out on that side of the street, or taking the PATH south to the waterfront, to cross over the marathon route. -- Lego

Happy Friday, y'all. There's a lot of options for when people've said they're available for the planning meeting, so I'm picking Tuesday after work because I don't feel like extending my Monday more than I have to. Here's the details for your calendars, because I can't figure out how to get the ICS file for it: > Toronto WikiClub planning meeting > Tuesday, September 10, 5:00 – 6:00pm (America/Toronto) > Video call link: https://meet.google.com/gsn-ctbi-dvj The talk topic ideas so far: - WikiConference North America, by attendees - What it's like to be Wikimedian of the Year, by Hannah/clovermoss (I think this was a joke, but it sounds interesting?) See y'all then! -- Lego PS: If you want people other than me to see your replies, make sure you're replying to the list address! If you don't know how to do this in your email client, you can use the reply buttons in the [thread archive](https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikiclub-toronto@lists… to send a message from there or launch your email client's message window with the right address pre-populated.
