There's a game competition that's being organized by the Centre for Social Innovation, and is taking place over the month of February. An open house for the event is taking place this Saturday afternoon. Check out the flyer for more details.
The CEO of Big Viking Games is coming to Toronto on Friday, and is interested in meeting some university students, probably for recruiting purposes. Let me know if you're around Friday, February 2nd in the afternoon, and if you're interested in meeting him :)
