Social justice summer retreat
Location
This year's theme:
The lingering effects of the 2008 financial collapse, stubbornly high unemployment, more part-time work without benefits, stagnant or falling pay and diminished pensions signal the fact that the financial crisis will be paid for by workers. Governments show no sign of reversing the tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy that have helped plunge public finances into deficit. Severe cutbacks to social programs are certain to follow. Unionized workers in public and private sectors are under increasing pressure to give up collectively bargained salary and benefits won over more than a quarter century.
Toronto Trivia Junkies Meetup
Location
The Toronto Trivia Junkies Meetup is dedicated to bringing live trivia events to the masses. Come show off all that useless trivia knowledge while enjoying a few pints with some of the brightest (well ok, maybe the most opinionated) people in Toronto.
Come check out our official Meetup page.
By the way, the Crown and Dragon was chosen for this event after they emerged victorious in the 2009 annual "Wing Off". Check out the article in eye for all the wingtastic details.
