Scientists: you should wash your hands because of Coronavirus. People: I'm gonna stop flying, hoard masks, work from home & totally rearrange my life. Also Scientists: the #ClimateCrisis will kill millions - we must use clean power & change how we get to work. People: No way.

More progress on the Elbow in #RockyRadar! I’ll post about it more soon but we found something pretty cool in the dark blue area.

#BridgeWatchTO: The east half of the Commissioners St. Bridge has reached Lake Ontario! Thanks to Mark Seguljic who sent in these photos of the bridge as it passed through the Snell Lock yesterday.

Building a wetland is very detailed work & each section is engineered to respond to its location. E.g. on the left, root wads will resist fast flowing water in a flood, but the opposite bank won't have to deal with the same amount of force, so we used a different material there.

Downtown Toronto fishy condos getting occupied! Love it! More fish condos (wetlands) coming up in the next couple of years. It is amazing to see this transformation. Proud to be part of this amazing project!
