There's actually quite a lot of (seeming) activity around the Toronto
IEEE chapter; I got a membership this year in order to get a discount
on a sponsored conference, and as a result, now get a monthly email
about events they are organizing (mostly lectures by engineering
professors) around the Toronto area.

I'm not sure that's worth spending a lot of membership money on, but
it certainly indicates a non-zero level of activity.

How that applies to an ACM chapter...  Not clear...
