CSRAO Convention 2016
This year’s CSRAO Convention was held at the Oakham House at Ryerson University at 55 Gould Street in Toronto. CSRAO (Chartered Shorthand Reporters’ Association of Ontario) is the second oldest association of professional stenographic reporters in North America and governs the standards and development of working shorthand reporters in the province of Ontario. I had been to the CSRAO Convention in previous years but this was my first time attending again in a while.
This was the pretty view out the window that greeted me this morning as I went in for a job downtown:

Japango located at 122 Elizabeth Street in Toronto

(Just a reminder, a review — good or bad — is someone’s personal experience. People need to stop being so hyper-sensitive when they read something they don’t agree with.) Continue reading
