When I was a teen, first week back at school one year, I met a new friend.. A girl who had immigrated to Canada from Russia with her parents over the summer. Those of us who befriended her did much the same thing, we took her out for a bunch of Canadian takeout foods to see what she liked. 😁

Today I learned this exists.

Maybe I can take the cold or Popeyes in Charleston needs to step up its game.

Also Costco in Canada has poutine.

Damn it we have all the Canadian Geese but not a Timmies in 500 miles!

It's decent, but not great; typical fast food poutine option.

The star attraction in that category up here is Popeyes' Cajun Poutine.
Our famous Cajun fries with fresh cheese curds smothered in Louisiana-seasoned, slow cooked gravy.

Something I had written up. Not sure if my numbers are 100% but just brain storming really. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Business Proposal: Retrofitting a 30-Story Office Tower into a Sustainable Urban Farm 1. Executive Summary As urbanization accelerates, cities face increasing challenges related to food security, environmental sustainability, and economic resilience. This proposal outlines a plan to retrofit a 30-story office tower in Toronto into a fully operational, city-run vertical farm. By leveraging advanced agricultural technology, renewable energy, and innovative water management systems, this initiative will provide fresh, local produce to thousands of residents, create hundreds of jobs, and serve as a model for sustainable urban food production. The project will strengthen food security by producing fresh vegetables, fruits, and specialty crops year-round. It will generate economic growth by creating an estimated 250 to 320 direct jobs while supporting additional employment in related industries. Sustainability will be achieved through reduced food miles, lower carbon emissions, and renewable energy integration. Additionally, repurposing underutilizes office space into a productive agricultural hub will contribute to urban revitalization and community resilience. 2. Building & Retrofit Overview Building Specifications The retrofitted building will be approximately 40,000 to 50,000 square meters in total space. Structural adaptations will include reinforced flooring to support water-based agriculture systems, installation of LED grow lighting, hydroponic and aeroponic racks, and climate control systems. Solar panel-integrated windows will be added for energy efficiency, and a green rooftop will be used for honeybee colonies and greenhouse operations. The basement and first floor will house water filtration and storage systems, supporting the overall farm infrastructure. Floor Usage Breakdown The rooftop will be dedicated to greenhouse farming and honey production. The highest floors (25 to 30) will be optimized for high-light crops like berries, citrus, and specialty herbs.… Operating Costs & Revenue Annual operating costs are expected to range from CAD 15 million to 23 million. This includes staffing wages, energy costs, maintenance, and consumable supplies. Revenue will come from produce sales to retail and wholesale markets, value-added products like honey and herbs, and research partnerships with universities and agricultural organizations. Estimated revenue is projected to be between CAD 15 million and 27 million per year, with the farm reaching profitability within 10 to 12 years. To support financial viability, additional funding can be secured through city and provincial grants, green building tax credits, and research partnerships. In the long term, the farm is expected to generate an annual surplus of CAD 2 million to 4 million. 5. Workforce & Job Creation Direct Employment The vertical farm will create approximately 150 to 200 agricultural jobs, including farm technicians, agronomists, and process operators. Additionally, 50 to 70 positions will be needed for technical support, such as engineers, IT specialists, and automation experts. Another 50 employees will be required for facility management, logistics, and administration. Indirect Economic Impact Beyond direct employment, the facility will support an additional 100 to 200 jobs in food distribution, retail, and transportation. Educational partnerships with local schools, colleges, and research institutions will create opportunities for students and researchers to engage with urban agriculture. 6. Distribution & Community Integration Food Distribution Strategy Fresh produce from the farm will be distributed through local grocery stores, direct-to-consumer models such as community-supported agriculture (CSA) subscriptions, and institutional partnerships with schools, hospitals, and community food programs. A fleet of electric vehicles will be used for zero-emission food transportation across the city. Community Benefits The project will increase access to fresh, affordable… 8. Implementation Timeline Phase 1 (0-2 Years): Planning & Permitting The first phase involves conducting feasibility studies, obtaining regulatory approvals, and securing investment funding. Phase 2 (2-4 Years): Retrofitting & System Installation During this phase, structural modifications will be completed, and farming infrastructure, including hydroponic and aeroponic systems, will be installed. Phase 3 (4-5 Years): Pilot Farming & Operational Testing A small-scale crop production trial will be conducted to fine-tune operations and train employees. Phase 4 (5+ Years): Full-Scale Production & Expansion Once the farm is fully operational, production will be expanded to meet citywide food demand, with the potential for replication in additional buildings. 9. Next Steps The proposed Toronto Vertical Farming Initiative presents a transformative solution for urban food security. By repurposing a 30-story office building into a high-efficiency urban farm, this project will enhance local food access, create jobs, and reduce environmental impact. Next Steps: 1. Conduct a formal feasibility study and structural assessment. 2. Engage with city officials, investors, and community organizations. 3. Secure funding through government grants and private investment. 4. Develop a pilot-scale production site to refine operations. 5. Scale to full implementation within five years.
