@ejrolon Thanks! I'll check Merlin out

Architects, what are you all using for project calendars / schedules / Gantt charts?

Excel? That’s what we use. Too much manual work.
Teamgantt? Tried it, clunky & ugly.

Anything else?

Discovered Craftdocs as an alternative to Notion. Really loving how much better the iPad & iPhone experience is.

Downside is no databases, but apparently they’re working on a similar feature.

Use cases that I can see working for me:

1. Knowledge Hub
2. Meeting Notes
3. Time Tracking

Paired with a project calendar/schedule app, and a task manager like OmniFocus, these 3 apps could make up my productivity suite.

Cost of Ontario Science Centre temporary location exceeds cost of roof repairs

The time required to set up a temporary location will mean that there is no Science Centre location for two years; the RFP also reveals that a new Science Centre at Ontario Place would not be ready until 2030-2034.

Canadians plan to boycott Loblaws, Shoppers Drug Mart in May over rising food costs

It's been circulating on social media for weeks but it seems like lots of Canadians plan to boycott Loblaws-owned brands in May.

I would like to see Ontario/Toronto follow BC’s example and allow density as of right near transit stations.

8 stories blue area
12 stories pink area
20 stories green area

This is what we should be striving for.
