Dot Spot will be located on the Bow River Pathway, near 6 Street SW, beginning in February 2025.
The design is inspired by the snow sled or flying saucer; rooted in childhood memories of tobogganing, the sled is repurposed and rotates in a pavilion.
On the eve of the Republican National Convention, August 21, 2020 a coalition of Americans reeling from the COVID-related deaths of loved ones, unemployment, and all this crisis has wrought gathered at Barclays Center to turn their sadness and frustration into protest by organizing the March for the Dead, Fight for the Living, a candlelit procession across the Brooklyn Bridge to the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street in Manhattan demanding the Trump administration and beyond to take responsible action to save lives and end suffering.

An iconic photo of the pandemic. We had begun talking before the pandemic, then met and begun our relationship a few months later fully immersed in it. We had enjoyed each other & supported each other throughout. And then, restrictions started to ease and things started opening. Once again options outside were available, and….Well. I had believed I’d chosen a relationship that would last a lifetime. Looking at this photo, I see a reflection of what was the pandemic, the litmus test of relationships. Some were brought together stronger, and many of these found they had grown their families 9 months later. Others whose bonds didn’t have the strength to survive through the being together so much, the pressure of the time, or possibly a combination of that and more, and wouldn’t make it through to the other side. So, there we have it. The “pandemic kiss.”
STAY HOME / STAY SAFE
I see this sign every time I drive past RMC (Royal Military College) on my way to work. It's been up for a while now (ever since Ontario stopped all non-essential businesses) I work the night shift, and the business I work for is taking precautions to keep my peers and I safe. Only 2 people are working at a time, and we wipe everything down before and after our shifts, with a minimum 30 minutes in between shifts. We also check our temperature first, and are sent home if there's signs of fever.
As I was taking these photos the military police rolled up to see what I was up to. (because I was parked on RMC property) One questioned me while the other visually searched my car. They kept their distance, and put on gloves before taking my ID. After they ran my plates and ID, everything checked out and they let me go.
I usually don't post photos out of chronological order, but I thought I'd post something relevant to the craziness going on around the world.
Stay safe everyone!

The event had either taken place on a previous day, or perhaps it had yet to take place.
