"Congratulations to Harbourfront Centre on receiving the Ontario Trillium Foundation's Capital grant," said Chris Glover , MPP for Spadina-Fort York. "This investment not only enhances security for visitors but also supports Harbourfront's mission to provide inclusive, accessible, and transformative cultural experiences for Ontarians and beyond." As the heart of Harbourfront's campus, this building serves as Harbourfront's Welcome Centre and the first point of entry for the 6.3 million Canadians who visit annually, and the staff, volunteers, children/youth and artists who are here every day. The main building houses three performance venues, Craft and Design Studios, several exhibition spaces, five community areas, public washrooms, and administrative offices. With this OTF grant, Harbourfront Centre was able to upgrade the facility with a new, advanced access point system. This technology enhances building functionality by providing extended-hours access through an app on mobile devices. The system enables remote access and seamless entry during afterhours periods for event setup, construction, or emergencies, improving the staff's ability to respond to security issues nimbly. Performers and technical crews also benefit from easier access, which extends rehearsal and programming time. The new system is designed for long-term use and allows for future expansion across the Harbourfront Centre's 10-acre campus, and its ability to integrate with surveillance technology significantly enhances on-site safety. "The impact of this OTF grant is incredibly significant for us as we see an uptick in vandalism and theft incidences on our campus," said Cathy Loblaw , CEO at Harbourfront Centre. "Thanks to this grant, Harbourfront Centre has been able to address a critical security gap at our main building, enhancing the safety for the many staff, students, volunteers, artists, and audiences who come to work, learn and be entertained at Harbourfront Centre daily." Harbourfront Centre (HC) is Canada's home for arts, culture, community, and recreation, operating an iconic, publicly accessible 10-acre campus on Toronto's central waterfront, where we welcome 6.3 million people each year. It is a cultural hub for Canada and a microcosm for the world, with 1.3 million people participating annually in its programs, which include year-round music concerts, performing arts, visual art and craft and design classes and exhibitions, arts-based youth camps and school programs, and multicultural celebrations. Every day is culture day at Harbourfront. For over 50 years, the organization has inspired audiences with a breadth of bold, ambitious and engaging experiences.Coming up in February 2025 , Harbourfront Centre will present the 30 th Anniversary edition of KUUMBA, our annual monthlong Festival of Black Futures. "Whether it's helping people learn new things, connect with their community, or simply have fun, organizations like Harbourfront Centre deliver experiences that make a difference," said Stan Cho , Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming. "That's why grant support through the Ontario Trillium Foundation is so important. This funding will help ensure that it remains at the heart of the community for decades to come." Harbourfront Centre is a registered, charitable not-for-profit cultural organization operating a 10-acre campus on Toronto's central waterfront and providing year-round programming – 52 weeks a year, seven days a week. In addition to its self-produced programs, Harbourfront Centre is the home to several dynamic cultural and community partner festivals, including Habari Africa, Tirgan, Cinco Fest , Ashkenaz Festival, TAIWANFest, Ontario Library Association Forest of Reading, National Indigenous Peoples Day, and Fun Philippines.

Iran cyberspace council votes to lift ban on WhatsApp

Trump has promised again to release the last JFK files. But experts say don’t expect big revelationsSports Columnist {{description}} Email notifications are only sent once a day, and only if there are new matching items. This has been a brutal season at times for Sabres winger Jack Quinn. No other way to say it. In 19 games, he entered Saturday night's contest in San Jose with one goal, five points and a minus-7 rating. Barring some major pump in production over the final 60 games, Quinn has answered the question about whether he's going to need a long-term, big-money deal going into next season. He's not getting one and JJ Peterka probably is. General manager Kevyn Adams had to keep some cap space open in case both were getting big deals next summer. Now he knows he doesn't have to and can look for more help for this team. Lots of rumors that he's already been doing that, and those will only grow if the Sabres stay in the playoff race. The Sabres' Jack Quinn has just one goal and a minus-7 rating in 19 games this season. Quinn is coming back from two major injuries. His torn Achilles in June 2023 cost him the first half of last season and then he needed ankle surgery and was out more than two months after a collision Jan. 27 with Tomas Hertl late in a win at San Jose. Quinn was back at the scene of the crime Saturday at San Jose's SAP Center. Until playing a strong game Friday in Anaheim, it seemed like he should be a healthy scratch as soon as Tage Thompson returned to the lineup. It leads to the inescapable conclusion that he's just not healthy. Quinn, who has seemed to lack much acceleration in his skating at times, pushed back on the subject of his injuries when this corner broached the subject before the Sabres headed West. "Physically, I feel great to be honest. I'm happy where I'm at," Quinn said. "It's my game that hasn't been where I've wanted it to be. I've got to get that up to par. But on a positive note, my body and physical fitness feels great." Jiri Kulich completed the Sabres' comeback with an OT goal to beat the Ducks. Lance Lysowski's takeaways from Anaheim, where Buffalo moved above .500 and back into a playoff spot. Quinn looked good in Anaheim because he was skating with conviction. He was getting to spots in the offensive zone that were giving him scoring opportunities but his shot continues to be a trouble spot, as he had seven attempts but only two that landed on net. What's been the problem with an offensive game that's produced just one goal on 29 shots? "I'm not really sure. I don't think it's luck," Quinn said. "It's a little bit more about confidence in that I've got to find a way to shoot the puck more. I'm a shooter, I'm a goal-scorer, and I feel like I haven't been able to find shots this year. You're not going to score if you can't get shots. So got to find a way to be shooting more and probably confidence correlates to some more shots." Turnovers can be an issue. Quinn nearly had a major gaffe at his own blue line Friday night in overtime but was able to corral the puck before it got away from him. And seven shot attempts is a step forward. Quinn skated well in the game, got some ice time in OT and was noticeable on a line with Dylan Cozens and Peyton Krebs. It's a small victory but it's a start. Quinn wasn't a first-round pick to be a role player. He's got to score and coach Lindy Ruff seems to have plenty of patience for him. Now he's got to reward that faith. Standings always matter Hey, social media: Stop telling me the standings don't matter because it's only November. I'm tired of getting that reply every time I mention where the Sabres are in the wild-card race or the Atlantic Division. I say it matters big-time and you might say it doesn't. The decisive vote here comes from Ruff, who put the standings on the locker room video screens for every Buffalo player to see Monday before they left for the trip. Buffalo News hockey reporters Mike Harrington and Lance Lysowski discuss why it's not too early to look at the NHL standings. "You need to know where you are, whether it’s a point or two out of a wild card or three or four or five points out of the third spot in your division," Ruff said. "You need to have that awareness. Some people say they don’t like to look at the standings. Well, we’re playing games where you have to know where you’re at if you want to know where you want to get to.” Since the 2005 lockout, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman has kept track of teams in playoff spots by American thanksgiving and roughly 80% make the postseason. Maybe only one or two teams each year make it when they're not in a spot by Thanksgiving, so it matters. Big time. And if the Sabres were 10 points out, I know darn well a lot of you would be referencing the standings with your trade and firing requests. So you can't have it both ways. PITTSBURGH – On the eve of the Stanley Cup final, one of the goofiest questions to ponder is this one: Why in the world can’t the San Jose Sharks ever do much against the Buffalo Sabres? While the Pittsburgh Penguins have beaten Buffalo eight straight times, the Sabres are 9-0-1 in their last 10 games against the Western Conference 'Jumbo' night Saturday's game against the Sabres was a big one for the Sharks, with Joe Thornton's No. 19 slated to be retired in a pregame ceremony. The Bearded One known as "Jumbo" played 15 seasons for the Sharks after being acquired in trade with Boston early in the 2005-06 campaign and helped get them to the Stanley Cup final against Pittsburgh in 2016. Thornton's first game with the Sharks after the trade came in KeyBank Center vs. the Sabres on Dec. 2, 2005, and he had two assists in a 5-0 San Jose win that was the Sharks' last one in Buffalo for nearly 10 years. From his first game with the Sharks until his departure in 2020, no NHL team accumulated more standings points (1,443) and only Pittsburgh won more regular season games (660-659). Ovechkin at KeyBank? LAS VEGAS — There's a picture of a young Alex Ovechkin that's floated around the internet for several years showing the Washington Capitals star during his childhood in Russia wearing a Buffalo Sabres jacket. As the theory goes, Ovechkin was a big Alexander Mogilny fan and, by extension, maybe a Sabres fan growing up. After suffering a fractured fibula in a freak collision last week in Utah, Alex Ovechkin won't be on the ice when the Sabres play in Washington on Dec. 15. But a timeline of 4-6 weeks leaves open the possibility of the Great Eight playing Jan. 6 in his only trip of the season to KeyBank Center. Longtime Caps website writer Mike Vogel noted that Ovechkin has missed just 60 games in his career, with 36 for injuries and the others for assorted reasons that include six suspensions totaling 10 games. The Caps are 26-29-5 without him in those games — but just 4-14-0 in the last 18. So it obviously bears watching if Washington falls out of the top three of the Metropolitan Division and enters the wild card race because Ovechkin missed a lot of time. Johnson gets his due Former Sabres defenseman Erik Johnson played his 1,000th career game last weekend for Philadelphia against Buffalo and was honored for the milestone Monday night against Colorado. Johnson's old team surprised him with a presentation from injured captain Gabriel Landeskog. Johnson is the only current member of the Sabres with a Stanley Cup title on his résumé. What was it like watching the clock tick away in Game 6 with the Cup in the building waiting to be grabbed? Landeskog (knee) has not played since the 2022 Stanley Cup final but is still trying to get his career resumed. The night of the Avalanche's clinching victory at Tampa Bay, Landeskog got the Cup from NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and the first player he gave it to was Johnson in a move they had discussed several years earlier. A good Johnson trivia note from Sportsnet's Friedman: His 1,000th game made the 2006 Draft the first in which the top seven selections reached that milestone. Retired former Sabres captain Kyle Okposo went No. 7 and got to 1,000 last November. Picks 2 through 6 were Jordan Staal, Jonathan Toews, Nicklas Backstrom, Phil Kessel and Derick Brassard. The only one still active is Staal, now in his 12th season in Carolina after six in Pittsburgh. Around the boards • Tweet on old friend Jeff Skinner from veteran Edmonton-based columnist Mark Spector of Sportsnet during the Oilers' 5-3 loss Thursday night to Minnesota: " Oilers a train wreck in their own zone on Minny's 3-2 goal. Skinner flees zone rather than collecting a puck, leads to the goal. If there was a fifth line, (coach Kris) Knoblauch would put him on it at this point." Major ouch. • In the wake of the Hockey Hall of Fame's latest induction ceremony, quite the dilemma has already emerged for next season. There is a limit of four males in the player category and the list of first-time eligibles includes luminaries like Thornton, Zdeno Chara, Ryan Getzlaf, Duncan Keith and Carey Price. Which one of those five gets left out? Yikes. And you can thus forget about Alexander Mogilny or Keith Tkachuk getting a call next year. • Florida coach Paul Maurice , speaking on his multiyear contract extension signed last month, to Pierre LeBrun of the Athletic "If you don’t get it done, it becomes a conversation: 'What’s going to happen?' And you actually start getting asked that toward the end of the year and the playoffs, which is the last thing you would want. It wasn’t a negotiation. (Panthers GM Bill Zito) made me a real generous offer. I said, 'Thank you very much.' And that was it." • More Maurice, giving a tip to Chicago reporters before the Blackhawks beat the Panthers for the third straight year in United Center with Thursday's 3-1 win: " You guys came to the rink for 20 years, won Stanley Cups and beat the hell out of everybody, and you just assume that's the way it should go every year. But you've got good young players. Got a superstar (Connor Bedard). It's just a matter of time." • Connor McDavid is 27 and got his 1,000th career point earlier this month for Edmonton. The next-youngest active player past 1,000 is Toronto's John Tavares — and he's 34. It seems McDavid will have a legitimate shot at joining Wayne Gretzky as the only 2,000-point men in NHL history someday.

DLH Reports Fiscal 2024 Fourth Quarter ResultsHeartland Community College to host FAFSA workshop Dec. 10By ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump promised on Tuesday to “vigorously pursue” capital punishment after President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of most people on federal death row partly to stop Trump from pushing forward their executions. Related Articles National Politics | Elon Musk’s preschool is the next step in his anti-woke education dreams National Politics | Trump’s picks for top health jobs not just team of rivals but ‘team of opponents’ National Politics | Biden will decide on US Steel acquisition after influential panel fails to reach consensus National Politics | Biden vetoes once-bipartisan effort to add 66 federal judgeships, citing ‘hurried’ House action National Politics | A history of the Panama Canal — and why Trump can’t take it back on his own Trump criticized Biden’s decision on Monday to change the sentences of 37 of the 40 condemned people to life in prison without parole, arguing that it was senseless and insulted the families of their victims. Biden said converting their punishments to life imprisonment was consistent with the moratorium imposed on federal executions in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder. “Joe Biden just commuted the Death Sentence on 37 of the worst killers in our Country,” he wrote on his social media site. “When you hear the acts of each, you won’t believe that he did this. Makes no sense. Relatives and friends are further devastated. They can’t believe this is happening!” Presidents historically have no involvement in dictating or recommending the punishments that federal prosecutors seek for defendants in criminal cases, though Trump has long sought more direct control over the Justice Department’s operations. The president-elect wrote that he would direct the department to pursue the death penalty “as soon as I am inaugurated,” but was vague on what specific actions he may take and said they would be in cases of “violent rapists, murderers, and monsters.” He highlighted the cases of two men who were on federal death row for slaying a woman and a girl, had admitted to killing more and had their sentences commuted by Biden. On the campaign trail, Trump often called for expanding the federal death penalty — including for those who kill police officers, those convicted of drug and human trafficking, and migrants who kill U.S. citizens. “Trump has been fairly consistent in wanting to sort of say that he thinks the death penalty is an important tool and he wants to use it,” said Douglas Berman, an expert on sentencing at Ohio State University’s law school. “But whether practically any of that can happen, either under existing law or other laws, is a heavy lift.” Berman said Trump’s statement at this point seems to be just a response to Biden’s commutation. “I’m inclined to think it’s still in sort of more the rhetoric phase. Just, ‘don’t worry. The new sheriff is coming. I like the death penalty,’” he said. Most Americans have historically supported the death penalty for people convicted of murder, according to decades of annual polling by Gallup, but support has declined over the past few decades. About half of Americans were in favor in an October poll, while roughly 7 in 10 Americans backed capital punishment for murderers in 2007. Before Biden’s commutation, there were 40 federal death row inmates compared with more than 2,000 who have been sentenced to death by states. “The reality is all of these crimes are typically handled by the states,” Berman said. A question is whether the Trump administration would try to take over some state murder cases, such as those related to drug trafficking or smuggling. He could also attempt to take cases from states that have abolished the death penalty. Berman said Trump’s statement, along with some recent actions by states, may present an effort to get the Supreme Court to reconsider a precedent that considers the death penalty disproportionate punishment for rape. “That would literally take decades to unfold. It’s not something that is going to happen overnight,” Berman said. Before one of Trump’s rallies on Aug. 20, his prepared remarks released to the media said he would announce he would ask for the death penalty for child rapists and child traffickers. But Trump never delivered the line. One of the men Trump highlighted on Tuesday was ex-Marine Jorge Avila Torrez, who was sentenced to death for killing a sailor in Virginia and later pleaded guilty to the fatal stabbing of an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old girl in a suburban Chicago park several years before. The other man, Thomas Steven Sanders, was sentenced to death for the kidnapping and slaying of a 12-year-old girl in Louisiana, days after shooting the girl’s mother in a wildlife park in Arizona. Court records show he admitted to both killings. Some families of victims expressed anger with Biden’s decision, but the president had faced pressure from advocacy groups urging him to make it more difficult for Trump to increase the use of capital punishment for federal inmates. The ACLU and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops were some of the groups that applauded the decision. Biden left three federal inmates to face execution. They are Dylann Roof, who carried out the 2015 racist slayings of nine Black members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina; 2013 Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev ; and Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 congregants at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018 , the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S history. Associated Press writers Jill Colvin, Michelle L. Price and Eric Tucker contributed to this report.
