    Venue Rental & Technical Guide

    VENUE RENTAL & TECHNICAL GUIDE 1 TORONTO AS A MARKET 2 3 WHERE THE WORLD IS WATCHING Toronto boasts a population of 2.8 million with a metropolitan reach of nearly 6 million, making it the largest city in Canada and 4th largest in North America. One quarter of Canada’s total population lives within a 100-mile radius of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), truly making it the epicenter of our great nation. It has held the title of “most diverse city in the world” with 53% of Torontonians having been born outside of Canada and over 180 languages and dialects spoken in the core of Toronto alone. 4 5 WHEN YOU PERFORM IN TORONTO, YOU TRULY ARE ON A WORLD STAGE. Not only do we have a lot people, we attract a lot of people. As the #1 tourist destination in the country, 25 million visitors annually come north to see what the hype is all about - and rarely leave unsatisfied. Our friendly reputation, high standard of living and safe atmosphere, makes us an ideal stop for your journey. And you can be sure that we’ll be more than happy to have you. I love the people – all kinds, from everywhere. I don’t know what the word is – cosmopolitan or “multicultural. You can do one thing one day and the next day you’re doing something totally different. “ The city is beautiful, clean. It’s a city, but it’s not crazy. There’s just something about it. Until you come here and kind of get the sense of living here, I don’t think people understand.

  • A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound*

    A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound*

    A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound* Michael J. Doucet Abstract: One aspect of urban culture is examined to evaluate Toronto's position within the urban hierarchy, namely, the production of songs and sounds about the city. Although much music has been performed and created in Toronto over the years, and many songs have been urritten about a variety of features of life in the city, the musical images of Toronto remain largely unknown beyond its borders—even to many of the city's own residents. If Toronto is a "world-class city," the evidence for such a claim would have to be found on other dimensions than the one explored here. No one ever wrote / A single note / About Toronto. — Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster (19%) I find that lately, I'm missing old Toronto, Where bass is strong and drums are full of fire. — from the Lenny Breau song "New York City" (1987) No nation can exist by the balance sheet alone. Stories, song, dance, music, art and the rest are the lifeblood of a country, the cultural images defining a people just as surely as their geography and the gross national product. — Robert Lewis, editor of Maclean's (19%) Interestingly, though, we don't seem to have an immediately identifiable style. The last time anyone spoke about a 'Toronto Sound' [former Mayor] Alan Lamport was booting hippies out of Yorkville. Unlike a Nashville or Manchester, there isn't any one thing that makes you say 'That's Toronto' -- Bob Mackowycz, writer and broadcaster (1991) Toronto itself doesn't have a distinctive civic culture.
