Fire Chats & Free Food — Toronto Municipal Elections

Elections are on the horizon! Are you ready? Come join us on **October 13, 2026** for an informative recap of what the current administration has done and what the candidates propose to do for the future of our city, followed by facilitated discussions to help you figure out where you stand. This event is sponsored by Apathy is Boring and their Table Topics initiative, so if you are between the ages of 18-30, you should come for the **FREE FOOD**! As election day looms closer, Torontonians are faced with difficult questions on affordability, crime, public transit and more. For youth, figuring out which candidate best aligns with their values can be a confusing endeavour, and many remain undecided. Whether you are still deciding or already have strong opinions, we welcome you to join the conversation. **The Agenda** **5:00-5:05 - Introductions** After a land acknowledgement, the facilitator explains the agenda, introduces this week’s topic and establishes the rules of engagement. **5:05-5:20 - Lecture** Facilitator explains what the responsibilities of a municipal government are and what is within their realm of control. They then recap what Olivia Chow has done over the past 3 years and what her competition is proposing to do differently. **5:20-6:00 - Activity #1: Finding common ground** Everybody has a story to tell. Since local politics touches our lives in an immediate fashion, this is your chance to share your grievances through personal experiences. **6:00-6:40 - Activity #2: Diagnosing the Problem** Here we break out into small groups and start to discuss the actual policies that have been implemented and how they may have positively or negatively impacted our quality of life in the city. **6:40-7:20 - Activity #3: Moving Forward** What do you envision the future of the city to be? Here we regroup to talk about potential solutions we want to see being put forward and whether the current proposals will move us closer to our goals. **7:20-7:30 - Concluding Remarks** The facilitator introduces the theme for the next event and asks for donations before wrapping up the event. **7:30 - Socialize** The meetup is officially over, but you can stick around to chat by the fire and make some new friends! **[Join our Discord!](https://discord.gg/PxAsXAGfJj)**

Secure Development Tournament

**What Is a SecureFlag Tournament?** Attendees will compete to solve hands-on coding labs in a time-bound challenge inside fully provisioned hands-on development environments. The goal of the competition is to identify vulnerabilities in running applications, then write and submit fixes that must pass both security and functional tests. A live leaderboard will track progress in real time, and the top three performers win gift cards from SecureFlag. **Why It Works** ● Capture the Flag format, Reimagined: Instead of only hacking, secure the flag! Fix real vulnerabilities in real code, and learn by doing! ● No setup required: Just bring a laptop and scan a QR code. Labs run in the browser with everything pre-configured. No local installs. No VMs. No wasted time. ● Relevant to every developer. With 50+ supported technologies including Python, Java, AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform, there is a wide selection of challenges available. ● All skill levels are welcome. Labs range from beginner to advanced. A built-in hint system helps those who get stuck, while experienced developers can push for maximum points with minimal hints and no retries. ● Competitive leaderboards, prizes, and pizza! **FAQ** * What do I need to bring? * A laptop and power cord. * Will my email be shared with the organizers? * Yes! To sign-up for the lab you will need to share your email address. Collected emails will not be used for marketing purposes. * Is this in-person only? * Yes, to provide the best possible experience.
