The Best Event Venues in Toronto. The best event venues in Toronto offer more than just shelter from the rain and an address for the invitation. It seems many Toronto favourites carry with them the character of a past life; a place once serving as a 19th century united church, a former brick quarry, or an old streetcar repair station now housing a sustainable garden. While the best venues, of course, adapt to the atmosphere of each distinct exhibition or event, those that can cart a little lure on their own seem to make for a superb special event. And exposed brick, for some reason, also seems to be key. Here is the list of the best special event venues in Toronto. Evergreen Brick Works Evergreen Brick Works is the ideal special event venue because its cultural and environmental history somehow manages to remain prominent even as it's subject to host some awful corporate hand-shaking event. Andrew Richard Designs (2nd Floor) The second floor loft at Andrew Richard Designs is the perfect blank-canvas event space.
Classroom and Workshop Room Downtown. A Fashion Show All About… Garbage? You just never know what kind of cool things you’ll be asked to participate in! This week, Thursday the 19th, is the Garbage Fashion Show put on by the Coquitlam School District. The contestants, high school students, have a few months to construct a garment out of a recyclable materials (ex. used bottles, plastic bags, old boxes, etc). Wonder what that could possibly look like? Here are some photos from last year’s event: The purpose of the fashion show is to raise environmental awareness amidst School District #43′s high schools, and all proceeds from this show will be donated to grassroots charities.
Their fundraising goal is $3000, which will come from ticket sales, raffle draws and a silent auction at the event. Pretty neat, right? Me! I’m excited to be part of something so cool and creative. Wouldn’t you have loved to do something like this in high school? Want to see the show? A Fashion Show All About… Garbage?
