JOEL RICHARDSON BEGINS DUPONT STREET MURAL

Joel Richardson has begun to paint his new mural on Dupont Street West of Lansdowne. You can follow the whole process on his blog @ joelrichardson.com/blog as the artist, dressed in a tuxedo, paints a replacement to his mural erased by the City of Toronto earlier this year. The current mural was unanimously endorsed at a community meeting in August.

The artist will be keeping bankers hours at the wall for the next three weeks. Please feel free to drop by and see the progress.

Sometime during the night of August 16-17, the brand new mural under the Wallace Ave. Footbridge was severely vandalized. It's not the first time that this mural was tagged, including while it was still a work in progress. Artist Richard Mongiat has fixed it each time.

Personally, as much as I actually enjoy good street art and graffiti, simple vandalism of other peoples' work is extremely disrespectful. And it makes me enjoy other street art less.

The wonderful Dusk Dances makes its last area appearance starting tonight and running to Sunday. Always eclectic and offbeat this is a great family opportunity to see some of Canada's most innovative and talented dancers. This year has a great lineup including Santee Smith, a Mohawk from Six Nations who always brings great passion to her works. Dusk Dance events are always fun, enlightening, and PWYC!

• First Nation’s dancer and choreographer Santee Smith, with Kaha:wi – a piece celebrating the feminine spirit and Iroquoian traditions

The Junction Triangle in Toronto is surrounded by railway lines. Very soon those rails will bring excessive toxic diesel pollution to the neighbourhood, courtesy of the Ontario Government.

Citizens all along the rail corridor want clean electric trains, but Premier Dalton McGuinty isn’t listening.

With government sorely letting it down, the scrappy Junction Triangle fights on.

But the diesel trains are coming closer and time is running out
