[URBAN NOTE] Five Toronto links: flooding, bioswale, CNE strike, real estate data, St. Basil's

[rfmcdonald]

• Heavy rainfall puts serious strains on the sewer system of Toronto. (I'm just grateful for my good drainage, the historic proximity of Garrison Creek notwithstanding.) Global News reports.


• Christopher Hume reports on the flood-minimizing bioswale installed at Downsview Park, over at the Toronto Star.


• The CNE projects losses of 1.5 million dollars on account of the strike by workers. CityNews reports.


• I entirely approve of this lawsuit requiring the publication of real estate sales data. Toronto needs to be able to know itself. CBC reports.


• Katie Daubs writes about the heart of John Elmsley, a convert whose heart was buried in the wall of St. Basil's Church, over at the Toronto Star.
