The Holidays season was enjoyed by everyone. We enjoyed a night just before Christmas where guest dance until 2am and celebrated the start of the Holiday Season.  People came out in white, ice blue or a touch of sparkle to shine that evening.

Thanks to Shanny in the City the other host and her client and friends who came out.  Also our venue host, one of Toronto’s most unique downtown venue’s, the Everleigh.

Thanks to our clients, supporters, partners and friends who were all there to celebrate the festive season under one roof! This the season to drink, eat, and be merry.

Summer

Below you will find a short list of what is happening in Toronto for this celebratory weekend.  But first a little bit of history (to share knowledge at the family barbecue or on a patio with friends)

Did you know that Canada Day used to be called Dominion Day? (As Canada was a part of the British Commonwealth)

It’s also the anniversary of the Constitution Act (1867) which stated the junction of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Canada province (Ontario and Quebec) in one and a whole country.

The first official celebration was held in 1917 to honor Canada’s 50th birthday. (This years’ is the 146th!)  But the holiday was made official in 1982, the same year that the Canada Act was passed and the link with the United Kingdom was broken.

Canada Day also marks a number of breakthroughs and significant events:

• The first national radio connection by the Canadian National Railway in 1927.
• The first cross-country broadcasted in 1958 by the CBC.
• The first color television transmission in Canada in 1966.
•  “O Canada” made the official national anthem in 1980.

Nowadays the event is most likely celebrated with parades, fireworks, carnivals, outdoor concerts & activities, and festivals. It’s also a time for Canadian to play sports, spend time at the beach and celebrate around the barbecue. (Source: http://www.canada-day.ca/)

 Years later, Mark Robert and Jeffry Roick, took a leap of faith on renovating the building for it to become the historic Art Moderne venue that it is now.   The Carlu, named after its architect, is at this time referred to as “the highest profile restoration in

Canada” and designated a National Historic Site in 1982. The Herittage Award for Best restored place by the Canadian Event Perspective Magazine is one of the many awards won by this venue. Along goes the Architectural Excellence Award in 2004 by Ontario Architectural Association and 2012 Canada’s Top Venue by Meeting + Incentive Travel Magazine and many more.

Mark Robert refers to it as “more of a museum that houses special events”

On May 1^st, 2003, Robert and Roick opened the seventh floor to the public once again.  They renamed the venue for the famous architect and his wife whose delightful painted murals of pastoral life were unearthed beneath 27 years of neglect.
