Yesterday the weather station at Toronto Island recorded 19.9mm of rain, which was enough to cause flooding in Union Station, and the June 28 photos were taken toward the end of this storm. Today all of the standing water has been absorbed into the ground, where it will be released slowly and is available to the surrounding trees.

The Promise (II)

Excerpt from the "Back campus fields project: Message from the dean", dated 31/05/2013, found here:

The back campus will continue to be an open, accessible space for a wide range of intercollegiate, intramural and recreational sports and physical activity pursuits. No trees will be cut down to make this project happen. There will be no permanent stands, inflatable domes or taller fencing that will impact the wonderful view of the historic buildings and trees that surround the site. Studies have concluded that there is no archaeological potential on the site due to filling and grading over several decades. And no algaecides or biocides will be sprayed on the fields.
