An Evening with David Crombie

Join us at The Jamii Hub for a memorable evening with former Toronto Mayor David Crombie as we celebrate the heart and history of the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood! This intimate event offers a rare opportunity to hear Crombie discuss the planning and preservation of this iconic community with special guests: Frank Lewinberg and Vincenzo Pietropaolo.

Vincenzo Pietropaolo and Frank Lewinberg will reflect with David Crombie on the success of St. Lawrence as a development. Vincenzo and Frank will share insights from their work documenting the community’s journey in their new book, helping us understand how history can inform the way forward.

Whether you’re a local or passionate about Toronto’s urban legacy, this is your chance to explore the stories and vision that made St. Lawrence one of Canada’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.

The evening promises:
– Exclusive Insights from David Crombie, a champion of inclusive urban spaces and community building. The conversation will be moderated by Sarah N. Ahmad, an urbanist, public art professional, local community mom and avid supporter of Jamii.
– Live Opera Performance by Jonelle Sills to set the stage for an unforgettable night.
– Cheese & Charcuterie to enjoy throughout the event.

All proceeds will support Jamii’s free arts programming, enriching lives throughout the St. Lawrence community.
