I'm wondering if it is a delivery issue as the corner of the last section sat uncompleted even with the RCS above it for about 3 weeks looks like they finally got it filled in
 
Today.

Do they do construction on the weekend on this project?

My anecdotal observations of this and many condo construction projects in Toronto is that there is work on Saturdays, but it is mostly non-construction work, like proactive site-cleanup and garbage removal, equipment movements, and receiving materials and appliance shipments to build out the interior for the project.
There is almost never activity on a Sunday.

Another pile of photos, taken today, Friday (Aug. 15). Progress has been rapid on pouring the corners at the top - all the corner blue forms have moved up a level, to 84, since last Friday - only one more floor until the main concrete portion of the tower is complete! It will be interesting to see if they start quickly on the crown. At this rate, we will be there before the month is out. In contrast, the black Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) installing the skin are still where they have been for 3 weeks now, on levels 64 and 65, though, again, the mini-RCS on the south side is up a floor, now to level 64. And we do now see the windows for level 65 installed on the south face. Nineteen floors to go. The only other change I see from last week is the top of the external elevator. They seem to have removed the one that went to level 81, they both now top out at level 80.

Starting with the view from Yonge and Dundas, moving up to the view from around Charles Street, including closer peeks at the RCSs on the south side, and the top. Next, to Cumberland east of Bay, including a closer look at the top with the corner scaffolds now at the penultimate level. An out-of-focus high-contrast view of the zig-zag cladding, followed by the view from Bloor, just east of Yonge, then from the intersection itself. Some of the guys working on the tower walked by on lunch break and asked to pose - here's my nod to the crews actually building this thing! Then, a view looking up from the east side, then down to Wellesley and Church for that view, then College and Queen's Park to the SW, with final views from Harbord near St George, and Bloor near Manning to the west.

One Bloor West (The One) "time-lapse"

From October, 2020, as above-ground construction started in earnest at The One (1 Bloor W.) in Toronto. More or less a weekly photo usually taken on a Friday, with some gaps during early-on construction hiatuses. The initial photographs are from 2015, during demolition at the site, 2018, during...

Great photo of the three construction guys posing with their work behind them. *Somebody* should get the entire crew
together for a photo, and close the intersection for an historic occasion for the city. They deserve it -- trades, labourers,
security, supervisors, everybody. Even the architects and engineers . . .
 
So by the end of the week we should have all corners completed might need one of our drone operators to take a peek and see what is going on with the core whether the elevator shafts have been poured for 85 and floor slab has started to be formed or if we will see the elevator shafts go up one level then capped for the TMD
