Ryerson University provided the Toronto scene for a national wave of sit-ins mourning 215 children found buried at the site of the Kamloops Indigenous Residential School—as Egerton Ryerson was a designer of that system.

The excitement of 550 fully vaccinated health-care workers in the stands vanished fast when the Toronto Maple Leafs had their worst collapse yet.
