Gallery TPW is holding their annual Photorama fundraising exhibit this weekeend. This is their annual fundraising exhibition featuring artists selected by their Board of Directors. Last year they raised over $38,000, of which $13,000 was paid out to artists. They are looking this year to raise over $30,000.
Apart from the fundraising there are some great works displayed. Check the preview out online at their site here, but better yet see it in person at 56 Ossington. It’s always better that way!
I wrote back in July about Joe Pantalone stopping the new restaurant of J. P. Challet on Harbord St.. Toronto Life is reporting that the hearing for the restaurant is being held at the AGCO on September 30th at 5:30pm at 90 Sheppard Avenue East, 3rd floor.
I would encourage residents of the neighbourhood, as well as the other local business owners, to go and support this local chef create a new business in Toronto. After Joe Pantalone stopped restaurant growth on Ossington, and continue to thwart restaurant growth in his neighbourhood, we need people to go and show support.
It is important for the growth of entrepreneurship in Toronto, as well as developing a culture of cuisine in Toronto.
Unfortunately I will be out of town for the event, but will be writing a letter, which I will post here, supporting the opening of the restaurant.
One of our local spots, Union, which just opened a few months ago was reviewed by Eye.
Good thumbs up!
On Sunday, Ossington was closed again for another parade. An annual affair in our neighbourhood the local Portuguese celebrate the assumption of Mary, which includes a parade that goes along Foxley, back across Argyle and ends at the local church.
Not speaking the language I don’t fully understand all what goes on at the festival but a lot of the neighbourhood people are involved. The party continues on into the night at the Osler Playground.
It had a more sombre tone than the parade on Friday, but there were a lot of participants.
