The war in Syria has brought many actions to Toronto including funds being raised by the Assyrian Chaldean Syriac Student Union (ACSSU), raising awareness of Syrian culture and current survival conditions, and displaying the life of a Syrian refugee by imitating it. Recently a silent movement has appeared; a series of posters has appeared on lampposts at Spadina, south of Bloor. The Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre is at the corner of Spadina and Bloor, across from the TTC Spadina Station. Further down the street is the University of Toronto Multi-Faith Centre. Along the way there are a series of posters promoting acceptance of Muslims and encouraging an end to fascism
Featuring silhouettes and short text a set of three simple paper posters are seen along Spadina on lampposts covering regular sale and help wanted signs.
The start of Spring is often marked on March 20; it’s usually the time of the Spring Equinox; day and night are of equal length. Because the Earth is tilted the length of all days and night aren’t the same year-round. After the Spring Equinox the days get longer until the start of Summer on June 20, the Summer Solstice; the Summer Solstice is the day of the year the Earth sees the most sunlight. After that the Earth sees less daylight. On the Fall Equinox, September 22, day and night are again of equal length; Fall begins. Nights then start to get longer until the Winter Solstice, the day of the year with the least daylight, December 21 when Winter begins. The dates of the solstices and equinoxes aren’t always the same but the season starts are.
Some mark the start of spring on March 20. Others mark it on
