Greater Toronto Day Promo

The first annual Greater Toronto Day happened on May 26. Global News encouraged everyone in the GTA to do a good deed, and then share it on social media with the hashtag #GreaterTorontoDay. For example, the small act of kindness could be as simple as giving up your seat on the TTC, or picking up garbage in a park. Essentially, the goal was to help make the GTA an even better place to live. Leo Kavanagh and Andrew Miller created this promo, which aired weeks leading up to the event.

Urban Runoff

You see it every time there’s a heavy rainfall: torrents of water running down streets, large lake-like “puddles” pooling in the middle of roads, flooding streets. Sometimes it doesn’t even take that much rain to produce these things.

The reason we see these each time we get a storm is due to the concrete jungle.

Typically, when rain falls, most of it is absorbed into the ground. During heavy rains, some water won’t be absorbed, but will be carried away above ground to areas where it will be absorbed.

This animation (by Chris MacDougall) and infographic (by Leo Kavanagh and Babak Najafi) explain how urbanization can lead to flooding.

Some landowners are worried about contamination and that they are going to be left to clean up after the industry. Chris Jeri and Leo Kavanagh‘s animations for 16×9 break down the growing number of wells in Alberta that are inactive, the ones that aren’t up being kept up to code and the ones left behind when a company goes bankrupt.
