Edit: when I visit their page in the YouTube app a lot of the meetings show streamed on x time so it looks like they stream them there.
they used to use a proprietary streaming platform for their meetings. They recently switched to using YouTube as it is cheaper and more device compatible

It is still atrocious that there are no connections at Waterloo Park.

Nor any connections to the 12, 26, or 202. Madness.

Should be a 5 minute walk to the 12 at University of Waterloo, unless that's changing?

I mean, it's kind of a weird stop and there aren't any buses that go down Seagram Dr. There should probably be a shuttle to WLU.

It seems to me that the 29 or 202 could easily go down Seagram. But what do I know?

Exactly. I really think we are finally one to two months away from launch!
Spotted 514 around 8 PM last night, also in the GRT revenue service livery.
And saw two trains (510 and 512 maybe?) this morning before 7 AM, south of Cameron Heights. They are definitely getting a lot of running now.

I doesn't see how routes this important (especially the 202) should have that long a walking transfer to the rapid transit backbone.
