Let us give thanks to the TTC for making it impossible to go downtown for any events this weekend. Families gather from all around & have to try & take shuttle buses so full I couldn’t get into 3 in a row. Let’s hope they drive, pollute and congest instead. After all, we have a reputation to maintain.
I thought there would be an event in Toronto on September 25, 2016 to commemorate Glenn Gould’s 84th birthday. I’ve done an internet search and can’t find anything!
There was an event last year – https://www.todocanada.ca/city/toronto/event/happy-birthday-glenn-gould/
We don’t know about this year. You may contact Glenn Gould Foundation to see if there is anything planned for September.
