Massive delays for international flights at @TorontoPearson due to a fire earlier this evening. This is the view of folks waiting for security screening to reopen.
All flights to US from T1 cancelled. #pearsonfire

“And when you give students ownership of their learning, they do better.”

30 years ago there was an elevated freeway in front of the San Francisco Ferry Building - we most definitely can and must retrofit our cities for a healthier, more sustainable future
