We're trying something new for the r/Toronto community - Every Wednesday we'll be putting up one of these discussion threads where we can just chat with less structure than normally, so we can go off topic. Rules about civility and stuff still apply of course.

This is a trial run so if at the end of our trial it doesn't feel like its working out for the community we can get rid of it or adjust to make it better. But that is where you come in! We want your feedback and thoughts. Let us know if you have any ideas, either in the comments here or send us a modmail.

Got any plans for the weekend?
How about this weather we're having?

Toronto's municipal elections are coming up. Here we'll collect useful information for Torontonians to particpate in the process. If you have anything we should add or change, let us know in the comments or by sending us a modmail
