Riverdale Park 5K Run / Walk / Jog

Sun, Jun 7, 1:30 PM

From Riverdale Park 5K

4.8

5K every week till the snows come down! Or try to! We'll meet by the track. I'll be there early to warm up. We will start the 5K exactly at 9:30am. As mentioned in the About Us, * Using the park track we can all go at our own pace and never really be left behind unless we all finish way ahead of you. :D I think an hour is enough time to dedicate to the run. I'm pretty slow, so you will likely have me around for most of the hour. * Members are free to leave the run whenever they want. * Bring your kids, your pets, your partners, etc. * All encouraged to stick around afterwards and enjoy the park or neighbourhood on your own. * Let's get stronger, healthier and foster a great community at the same time. We also welcome runners who are not in our neighbourhood and want to join us spiritually and run from their own neighbourhoods. :-) Imagine how much healthier and communal the world would be if we all stopped for an hour once in a while to run together; re-centring and re-charging together?

Sideways on Steeles: Koreatown to Jewish town (6.2 km)

Tue, Jun 16, 10:30 PM

From Hike to Eat

4.7

Yonge and Steeles is at the centre of Koreatown North and Little Persia. Bathurst and Steeles is the heart of the Russo-Jewish community in the GTA. This hike covers the transition zone between the two. We'll also make a detour to Westminster Creek at the edge of the neighbourhood. Unsurprisingly, the food here is Korean, Persian, Russian, and Ashkenazi Jewish. There are also two Georgian bakeries—Georgian cuisine is popular in the former Soviet bloc. The hike ends at Bathurst and Steeles, where there are also Vietnamese and Turkish restaurants thrown in the mix. The most interesting option in the area is probably jumbo Korean dumplings and hand made noodles, one of the best in the region. This is not a religious or political event. **Highlights** 1. Galleria supermarket (depart 6:30pm) 2. Sababa Fine Foods / JungSooNe Bonga 3. Sunny Dragon Restaurant 4. Synagogues and cemeteries 5. Tov-Li / Bathurst Village Market (depart 7:22pm) 6. Harryetta Gardens / Westminster Creek 7. Puri Georgian Bakery 8. Vietnoms / Pho Viet Xpress 9. Myeongdong Gyoza Kalguksu (arrive 8:20pm) **Neighbourhoods** Newtonbrook West > Westminster > Thornhill-Vaughan **Map** [https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1wD5FerM13-YOJABBu67heHoB0jY9wHo&usp=sharing](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1wD5FerM13-YOJABBu67heHoB0jY9wHo&usp=sharing) **How it works** Hike starts punctually. Late or can't do the whole route? Meet us at scheduled checkpoints. We'll browse many food places but won't linger long. Grab ready-made food, or see the route in advance, organize takeout, then pickup along the way. Not sure what to try? Join our omakase for $5, which gives a tiny sample from different restaurants. Payment on the day of event by cash or e-transfer to [globaltorontoeats@gmail.com.](http://globaltorontoeats@gmail.com.) No refunds after orders are placed. Details of sampled food will be uploaded after the hike. Limited cutlery provided. Highly recommended to bring cutlery and containers for omakase and bringing back leftovers.

Could Frontier Labs’ Internal Agents Already Go Rogue?

Thu, Jun 4, 10:00 PM

From Toronto AI Safety

4.5

This is a ticketed event. You can register [here](https://luma.com/trajec-2gru). Could an AI company’s internal coding agents create a “rogue deployment”, a set of agents running without human knowledge or permission? In February and March 2026, [METR](https://metr.org/?utm_source=luma), the organization behind the [time horizons graph](https://metr.org/time-horizons/), conducted a pilot of a process to assess just that. Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Meta, and OpenAI gave us access to their most capable internal LLMs and a wide range of non-public information. We concluded that, while internal agents plausibly had the means, motive, and opportunity to start small rogue deployments, they didn’t have the means to avoid human detection indefinitely. METR researcher Thomas Broadley explains the process, the six key facts that informed our conclusion, and how we expect risk to evolve over the next few months. You can watch a livestream of the talk [here](https://www.youtube.com/@Trajectory-Labs/live?utm_source=luma).
