Waterfront Toronto, the agency that Alphabet is partnering with, is also responsible for the redevelopment of the Canary District (which is immediately to the north of the area that Google has just got involved with).

When they launched they put out some press releases about how the Canary District was going to have free neighbourhood wifi and other fancy things. As far as I can tell, that never happened, yet they won an award for it being an "intelligent community".

> Even as the network is being built out, it’s already winning accolades. Last year it helped the City of Toronto earn the title of the world’s No. 1 Intelligent Community of the Year as chosen by the Intelligent Community Forum in New York.

Anyone have details?
