Here are some of the ways we are giving back: Free Virtual Studio Access is a program we are extending to Toronto-based NGOs and shelters who support underserved populations, equity access groups and First Nations organizations Canada-wide who are lobbying for respect for ecological protections and treaty rights....

So far this month we have granted free access to the Toronto Rape and Crisis Center, Fatima House, and Black Lives Matter Toronto. For every ticket sale from our NYE event (visit our website for details and to buy your ticket!), we will donate one ticket to a local artist, activist, or community-care volunteer working hard to make Toronto a kinder, safer space for all.
