Artscape Youngplace is a new age modern art gallery which doubles as a venue for events. It is located at the intersection of Argyle and Shaw placing this close to Queen Street West which has a very artistic community. This venue is like none other because of the abstract art surrounding the walls giving it a modernized feel. The contemporary feel is in style and is in high demand for its simplicity. This venue has multiple exhibits at once which gives variety to the client about what they like. Artscape features Canadian artists most of them being local.

This is the perfect place as a venue because of its versatility. It can be transformed from a formal venue to casual. It is most commonly used for presentations of any sort. Artscape can fit 100 people when it is set up theatre style. It is not an overwhelming space because it is open but not too much space. There also have on-site catering which is optional however, it is recommended.

This venue is often overlooked because it is an art gallery. However, this is a beautiful venue for events. They are geared towards making the experience of an event light and filled with artwork. If you are having an event you might want to consider having it at this venue because of its avant garde artwork.

iYellow Wine Cave

A Place to Taste, Learn & Meet

Are you looking for somewhere to host your holiday party or private function? Want to impress your guests? The iYellow Wine Cave is the most unique venue in the heart of downtown Toronto.

The iYellow Wine Cave opened it’s doors in November 2013 and acts as the iYellow Club House. Currently it is the place where we teach all of our iYellow Wine School Classes and also host visiting Winemakers from all around the world.

iYellow Wine Club was born out of the idea to taste, learn and meet with friends. There were two original founders Ange & Pax who created wine home videos about tasting wine, wine tastings etc. They took people to wine country on bus tours and hosted wine parties. Now years later the club is a place for all who drink and love wine to gather and connect. Wine is magic that can make you rich, that can make you confident, and can be one of the main stays of your life (if you believe there are 5 main things in life: eating, drinking, sleeping, working, playing).

They are a social club of 10,000+ members who taste, learn and meet together and have been doing it since 2006. As a member you will get invited to an exclusive VIP experience in the iYellow Wine Cave, get wine bottles signed by talented Winemakers, and join to taste 100’s of wines from all over the world! Along the way you’ll build your wine confidence, meet new friends and over time become a real wine expert.

The awesome team of iYellow Wine Ambassadors help to build and keep this community running with over 100 classes, tours and events a year and we do it all so that our members have a place to taste, learn and meet together. Maybe you should earn your wine diploma at iYellow Wine School or join for a tour to Prince Edward County, Niagara and even Tuscany!

The iYellow Wine Cave is located steps away from Osgoode subway station on Queen Street West. It has the a back alley way entrance, reminding you of something you might find in Brooklyn New York, the trendiness of downtown Toronto’s Queen West, with the charm of a rustic European wine bar. This underground wine cave venue is an incredible and inviting space, one which you find anywhere else in Toronto – if not the world. When you step inside, there is a feeling of wine country love balanced with an exciting city spirit. The energy is very special and it’s uniqueness is undeniable, plus, there is always lots of wine!

The 21st induction ceremony was held at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel, in the Concert Hall on November 3, 2014. Four new members were welcomed into the fold of Canadian Disability Hall of Fame by David Crombie, Chair, and Honourable Vim Kochhar, CFPDP Chair.

The event started with a reception, where people came to register and by dropping off their business card had the chance to enter the draw for some great door prizes.   It was a busy reception as people had the chance to talk to each other and reconnect. The reception hall was crowded with over 400 people, all excited about the upcoming award ceremony.  At 12:30 people were seated and the ceremony started. Maureen Sabia, Chairman, Canadian Tire Corp was keynote speaker and she opened the presentation by outlining some of the great achievements of the winners.
