The City of Toronto is hosting a meeting to gather input from the public on the City’s proposed wayfinding system strategy that will be focussed on residents, transit users and visitors.
Toronto has an exciting and diverse music industry, fitting of our City’s global reputation as a world class city. Toronto has been the launch pad for many globally recognized artists and has a proud music heritage.
The music industry in Toronto employs thousands of individuals including musicians, sound technicians, digital music experts, designers, agents, and live music venues employees. Many residents of Ward 19 work in the music industry in one form or another. Unfortunately, little is known about the economic value or potential of this industry in Toronto and the city doesn’t have a strategy to foster its growth locally and globally.
I have requested that the City conduct a study to investigate Toronto’s music industry and its economic impact and develop a strategy to promote and foster Toronto’s music cluster through consultation with industry stakeholders including, but not limited to, the Toronto Music Industry Association.
The City is holding a Community Consultation meeting and workshop where you can learn more about this study, ask questions and share your comments and ideas.
I submitted the following letter to Executive Committee members asking them to vote against the sale of our stand alone houses. See the letter by clicking here. I ask the Mayor and his committee to take more time to consider how to approach this very real funding crisis faced by TCHC so that we can treat people with the dignity they deserve and ensure we continue to create mixed income neighbourhoods that thrive.
