Is there a better way to spend a summer than sitting on patio on the waterfront? The answer is no. With that in mind, you need to spend the evening of Wed. July 15th at our release party which is taking place in the west end at the Royal Canadian Legion, branch 344 (1395 Lake Shore Blvd. W.).

From 8-8:30pm the event will double as the ceremony for our 2015 winners of the Jane Jacobs Prize. This year, we have three winners: their identities will be revealed the day of the event. After the ceremony, you can dance in the main hall or lounge on the expansive patio.
