A great upcoming event in Toronto is TEDxIBYork. On November 11th, almost 500 people will gather at the Ontario Science Centre to hear 20 speakers give talks on a wide variety of topics – scientists, poets, explorers and more! Over 3000 schools around the world teach the IB curriculum, but have limited interaction with each other. We wanted to bring those students together for a global, idea-sharing experience. By adding in several hundred adults as well, we hope to mix together spark with experience, passion with knowledge, growth with renewal. Visit www.tedxibyork.com for more information.

David Arthur’s location and use of estate grown fruit is integral to the full-bodied, complex wines associated with the label.
