Documentary Screenings Toronto

🎬Movie - Documentary: Everyone Is Lying to You for Money!

🎬 Let’s Go to the Movies (and Actually Talk… or Not) Whether you're a film nerd, popcorn enthusiast, or just looking for a chill night out with interesting people — this one's for you. We’re heading out to see a movie together, then grabbing food or drinks after. If the film's great (or terrible), we’ll probably talk about it forever. If it’s just okay, we’ll talk about it for 10 minutes and move on to everything else — books, dating apps, weird dreams, how Toronto keeps getting more expensive, etc. The vibe is relaxed, friendly, and not too serious. No film degree needed. No icebreakers. No pressure to “perform.” Just come enjoy the film, connect with some thoughtful people, and see where the night goes Click here to watch trailer! 🎞️ **Movie Title + Trailer:** [\[Click here to watch trailer!\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEXxAOFqv4U) 📖 **📖 Plot Summary:** In ***Everyone Is Lying to You for Money***, actor and author Ben McKenzie turns investigator, pulling back the curtain on the cryptocurrency industry and the culture of hype, misinformation, and speculation that fueled its explosive rise. What began as a promise of financial freedom has evolved into a volatile ecosystem rife with fraud and reckless gambling, carrying with it devastating consequences for everyday people. Through firsthand reporting, expert interviews, and a clear-eyed examination of major collapses and scandals, the film traces how crypto became one of the most aggressively marketed financial products of the modern era—and how warning signs were ignored, dismissed, or deliberately obscured. As fortunes are made and lost, *Everyone Is Lying to You for Money* asks a sobering question: who benefits from the chaos, and who is left to clean up the damage? Accessible, urgent, and often darkly ironic, the film is both a cautionary tale and a call for accountability—cutting through the noise to expose a system built on speculation, influence, and belief rather than truth. **PLEASE NOTE: LAST TIME THIS SCREENING WAS SOLD OUT.

🌆 THE PATH, CIBC SQUARE & WATERFRONT SUMMER EVENING WALK! 🌆

# 🌆THE PATH, CIBC SQUARE & WATERFRONT SUMMER EVENING WALK! 🌆 **Escape the Heat, Explore Toronto's Underground City & End the Night by the Lake** When Toronto gets hot, the smartest place to explore isn't always outside. Join us for a summer evening adventure through **PATH**, Toronto's incredible underground city — a 30-kilometre network of tunnels, office towers, shopping, food courts, and hidden passageways connecting more than 70 downtown buildings. We'll spend much of the evening enjoying the cool, air-conditioned spaces before making our way to one of Toronto's newest public spaces: **CIBC Square Park**, an elevated urban park built above the railway tracks with incredible views of the city. To finish the evening, we'll head down to Toronto's beautiful waterfront where those who would like can grab a **BeaverTail**, relax by the lake, and enjoy one of the best summer evenings the city has to offer. This isn't a historical tour. It's a social walk, an urban adventure, and a great excuse to escape the summer heat while discovering parts of downtown many people have never seen. 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd) *** ## 🚶‍♂️ What We'll Do We'll begin at **Wellesley Subway Station** before making our way west and then south toward the PATH system. Once underground we'll weave our way through Toronto's famous underground city, discovering hidden corridors, office towers, shopping areas, and the unique network that keeps downtown moving year-round. From there we'll visit **CIBC Square Park**, Toronto's beautiful new elevated park built above the rail corridor, offering spectacular views over Union Station and the surrounding skyline. Finally we'll stroll down to the waterfront where we'll relax beside Lake Ontario. If you'd like, we'll grab a BeaverTail and spend a little time enjoying the evening before heading home. Expect about **2½ to 3 hours** of walking at a comfortable social pace. *** ## ☀️ Weather & Expectations This walk happens rain or shine. One of the best parts of this event is that much of our route is indoors in the cool PATH system, making it the perfect escape from hot summer days. Please wear comfortable walking shoes, as we'll still be covering several kilometres. This is a social walk—not a guided historical tour. *** ## 🧢 Meetup Details **📍 Meetup Location:** Main entrance of Wellesley Subway Station (near the PRESTO machines) 🫎 I'll be wearing my **Moose Hat** **⏰ Meetup Time:** **6:30 PM** **I will only wait 5 minutes.** Early is on time.

The 1977 Disaster at Tenerife (LECTURE ON THE GO)

**The Toronto History Walks Explorer Pass is available. Get it now for $125.00 for 1 year of unlimited tours, email** **torontohistorywalks@gmail.com** **for more information or for signing up!** We have an amazing "Lecture on the Go" series for 2026. New topics and fascinating stories abound! Join me, and uncover the world and keep active, warm and cool during the winter and summer months! I started this walking classroom when we were under that horrible cloud called Covid. This series was popular and helped people get back into society and life. The "Lecture on the Go" Series is open to members who have purchased the YEARLY MEMBERSHIP PASS, it's free for those members. If you wish to attend a lecture and you are not a yearly pass member then the price **per** lecture is $20.00. On March 27, 1977, Tenerife, an island chain off the west coast of Africa, became the stage for the most devastating aviation disaster in history. Two fully loaded 747 aircraft collided on the same runway. What began as a series of circumstances, diverted flights, dense fog, quickly spiralled into a chain of misunderstandings that would change aviation forever. This story is not just about the disaster, but about human factors, and the communication breakdowns, which led to it. And in today's modern AI landscape we are again under threat. At the heart of the tragedy, language, hierarchy, and timing, where small misinterpretations carried enormous consequences. The Tenerife disaster was far more than an accident; it's a powerful case study in how systems, and people fail. Join me as we step back onto that fog-shrouded runway and piece together the events, decisions, and lessons of that day. This lecture goes beyond the headlines to uncover the human stories, the technical realities, and the lasting changes that reshaped global aviation. Are we safer, yes, but for how long? That is a matter for discussion. Upcoming topics in the 2026 series: \*Philosophy 1: Great Minds of the Western World: Goethe to Kant! - (June 2026) \*Philosophy 2: Great Minds of the Eastern World: Chuang Tzu to Dalai Lama - (July 2026) Legacy of Triangle: How a New York Factory Scandal changed North America - (September 2026) This is the fifth event in the series! So book your plans now! This event is for all levels and walkers, there are a few steps here and there to navigate, but mostly on one level. This event in a non-walking event. The lecture begins on the steps of Old City Hall at the northeast corner of Bay Street and Queen Street West, and has a ticket price of $20.00 per person, but **free with the yearly membership pass**. **Please note: Please e-transfer the ticket amount when booking your space for this tour! You can e-transfer to the following email at:** **torontohistorywalks@gmail.com**

The T.O. You Don’t Know: Hidden Stories + Overlooked History (Museum of Toronto)

🚶‍♂️Guided Walking Tour New Art Trail on the New Toronto Island + Food/Drinks

On **Saturday August 8th**, **take a Guided Tour of the New Lassonde Art Trail (LAT), that opened late June with its final art installation completed on July 25th. LAT is part of the new Biidaasige Park, situated on the extraordinary site of a new island in the Toronto harbour archipelago with the TTC stop and parking across the street**. This is the largest park to open in Toronto in a generation. LAT is a series of 15 interconnected public art sites spanning over 4 km of paths that weave through 60 acres of new parkland along Toronto’s waterfront. LAT believes public art enhances wellbeing, guides respectful dialogue and opens our eyes to how we steward the environment. Tours are subject to cancellation in the event of adverse weather. So if the forecast calls for rain, I will make a call 3 hours prior to the event start time. LAT is at the heart of a massive $1.4 billion project that rerouted the mouth of the Don River and built flood protection for downtown Toronto. This feat of civil and bioengineering created a new island in the city harbour called Ookwemin Minising. The project established a new river valley with functional wetlands and 60 acres of publicly accessible open space along the riverbanks and inner harbour. It cleaned and restored soils contaminated from past industrialization, and naturally accommodated the effects of flooding and erosion. In the process it re-established aquatic and terrestrial habitat where Indigenous species of plants and animals can thrive. **Prepare for the walk:** * Walking shoes * Hat * Sunglasses * Water * **SIGNING-UP** * **RSVP Yes, and confirm joining after for food/drinks** * A reminder will be sent the day before with my cell and reminder details where to meet and when. RSVPs close 1 day prior or until full. cancellations will be marked as a No Show. 🗓️ **Event Details** 📍 **Meet me: 3:45pm** **to the right side, outside of The Old Fire Hall 30 at 51 Commissioners St. Then we will join the rest of the tour group.** 🚶‍♂️ **Tour Starts:** **4pm** ⏱️ **Tour Length:** 40 mins **After:** Head over to a local restaurant for food and drinks 🎟️ **Cost:** $5 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:** [Click here to join](#) 🎥 **A Quick Word About Walking Etiquette** Please: * Turn the sound off on your phone * Don’t talk while the tour guide is speaking * Be respectful of others Repeat offenders will be removed from the group. 👥 **About the Group** This event is open to everyone — single, not single, shy, social, new in town or a long-time local.
