This month at BCE Place in Toronto there is an exhibition of Roger Hooper’s photographs called “Living Planetâ€. Roger Hooper, founder and owner of Hoopers Gallery in London, England, is a dedicated wildlife photographer and supporter of World Wildlife Fund.  The images feature threatened environments from around the globe, including the Arctic, Africa and India. All profits from sales will be donated to support WWF-Canada’s work. The exhibition runs from September 12-29th, so if you’re looking for something to do on a rainy day this month in Toronto check it out and help out a great cause!
Fun
Pics of GOOD! Times.
Belated Thanks
I’ve been gone for a week working at a camp in Ontario’s north so I haven’t had a chance to thank everyone for coming out to our GOOD event last week! (Photos to come later) We were able to raise over $300 for Amnesty International!
Thanks to everybody who came out, and thanks to those who showed their good art!
The bands that rocked our socks were:
The Jeff Selver Experience
Terror Lake
Foxes
The artists that made our eyes feel special were:
Vivian Chong, Adi Zeharia, Sarah from The Rage, and Colin Stark, and Vivek from One Spirit Jewelry.
Let’s do it again sometime!

Good Shirts
The Spacing Wire is a blog that is all about public space. It’s a Toronto-based magazine that has some great coverage on public space in Toronto and around the world. The only comparable public space organization that I’ve found is the Project for Public Spaces in New York.
Anyway, over at the Spacing Wire there is a post on some cute and fun pro-pedestrian and cycling shirts.
