Old Sneakers?

We have already collected and dropped off three boxes of sneakers and another box is full already.  Thanks to those who have donated their "gently used" sneakers and flat shoes.  The impoverished population of Haiti will benefit from these.  Read here for more information and please continue to drop off you old sneakers at Agora.

 Art Matters

We will also continue the exciting exhibition of photographs, Urban Escape, by Solomon Hoasjoe.  Solomon's website is at www.hoasjoe-design.com, and his e-mail hoasjoe@yahoo.com. 

Good news for babies and their minders

We have added changing facilities in the basement near the washrooms so that whoever (male or female) has to change the babies diaper can easily do so.  Tell us how it works and if there are any improvements we can make to this arrangement.

Experiments with lighting

The main lighting we use is track lighting with PAR20 (mainly) and PAR30 bulbs.  We have replaced these with CFL bulbs at 9W and 13W instead of the 50W halogen bulbs that were there originally.   We've also got one (very expensive)  2.5W LED light.  If you notice the lighting changes or have any questions, please let us know.  

Advertising, reviews and newspaper articles.

From time to time, we advertise locally in The Villager as well as Snap.  Also, we are reviewed on a number of on-line review boards and invite our customers to contribute to these boards.  Recently, the Toronto edition of Metro had an article about us which you can read online here.   We have also been reviewed in the Toronto Star, here. and NOW which you can see here.  Ultimately, we rely on you, our hopefully satisfied customers, to spread the word about Agora.  Thank you.

Trans-fat Free Zone

Before selecting products for use at Agora, we try to ensure that they are trans-fat free.  We are happy to report that, as far as possible, Agora is a trans-fat free zone.  For more information on the whole trans-fat issue including Canadian regulations, check out this Wikipedia article here.
