Hundreds of citizens working together to transform their city: that’s the goal of – a social movement originating in Bogotá, Colombia, and spreading around the world, as cities including Cape Town, Copenhagen and Montreal host a one-day festival of citizen-driven change.

100 in 1 Day comes to Toronto for the first time this year, and the �ؿ�ζSM is both a sponsor and a participant. The event takes place June 7, and Torontonians can choose from 148 different activities (or "interventions"), such as a potluck in Wildwood Park, a meditation celebration where participants will "shuffle like wonder-struck zombies" and a Streetcar Back Pack (to encourage people to move to the back of the streetcar “by making it the cool place to be.")

Six of the 148 interventions take place at U of T, five on the St. George campus and one at �ؿ�ζSM Scarborough. All interventions are free, and cater to a variety of interests and age groups.

Math in the Street U of T’s Math department invites Torontonians to take a walk down Math Street, an alleyway at U of T, just off College and St. George, that they have converted into a wonderland of hands-on, fun math activities and math thoughts for everybody. “Come explore fractals and geometric shapes and look at the math all around you. You don't need a math background to enjoy this transformed walkway, you just need an interest in the world around you,” says Pam Brittain, outreach and special projects coordinator for the math department. The intervention takes place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (.) 

F.O.L.D. - Fly with Origami, Learn to Dream. F.O.L.D. is a U of T student club devoted to the art of origami. They’ll be at the corner of College and St. George from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to encourage people to  fold origami frogs and enter them into a frog jumping competition. Club members will also demonstrating the hexaflexagon. (.)

Dear Sneaker MoveU and the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education are encouraging Torontonians to donate their gently used running shoes or sneakers and tie them to the fence as a commitment to the entire community being active and healthy. Passers-by will be encouraged to contribute to the installation by filling out a sneaker stencil saying "I sneak it in by: ____________________” or “I move everyday so I can: ___________________.” Street-dancing will be showcased on the corner of Devonshire and Bloor to demonstrate one of the many ways donated sneakers can inspire healthy active living. Come (and bring your shoes) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (.)

InspirationX - InnovaMasters Initiative. This intervention at the Bahen Centre on St. George Street takes place from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., and is the creation of U of T student Alice Zhu. The intervention asks participants to answer the question, "Give us an instance where you were innovative,” and to participate in brainstorming exercises. Answers will be posted on YouTube and social media and will be shown on a laptop screen. (.) 

Chess in the City! An intervention by Mike Ivanov and the Hart House Chess Club, Chess in the City! is designed to promote chess while connecting people who don't often get a chance to know each other in the busy urban life that Toronto brings. The club will set up a giant chess set with life-size pieces and play team chess on it, with people making suggestions for both sides. Regular boards will also be set up, where two strangers can start a game and get to know each other. The intervention takes place at 111 Wellesley Street from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (.)
