Nicole Winchester spoke with Colin Boyd Shafer, the creator of Cosmopolis Toronto, a project that aims to show the world in Toronto by photographing one person from each country around the world. A portrait of them in a place where they feel comfortable and ‘at home’ in the GTA is shot by Shafer, as well as another photograph featuring them holding an item they feel connects them to their place of birth. These two photographs are paired with a short story and mapped on his website at www.cosmopolistoronto.com. This project questions what a ‘Canadian’ looks like, where community is created, and how useful the notions of countries of origins are in light of global migration patterns.

York Community Report: USAY and 'What the FOB' Event

Maggie Reid speaks with Adrienne Shnier, a PhD candidate at York University. She spoke to News Now about the controversial results of her study on conflict of interest policies or lack thereof in Canadian medical schools.
