It’s the last Tuesday of the month coming up and that’s when we gather to share memories and aspirations over a glass or two. We will meet upstairs at the Oxley Pub in Yorkville from 6pm, Tuesday 28 August, till the conversation runs dry. If you haven’t been to the Oxley before, it’s just north-west of the Bay-Bloor intersection and yards from the Bay Subway Station.

Please join the Oxford and Cambridge Society of Toronto for a TEDx style talk with Cambridge Cardiologist Dr Rameen Shakur.

He will also present on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in health and will address ethical questions these advances raise.

The talk will be on Monday July 9th from 6.30pm-8.00pm at the The Shangri-La Hotel. Tickets are required and can be purchased here.
