The TD IRIE Music Festival is a multi-day, family-friendly festival taking place Friday, July 29th to Monday, August 1st. Join the celebration of music - from reggae to salsa, gospel and soul to African; dance from the African Diaspora, spoken word/literature, a visual arts exhibition, film, international food and refreshing drinks.

What started in 1989 as a small two-day community affair by president and producer Lido Chilelli, has now evolved into an all-encompassing festival for Toronto and beyond. Beaches Jazz is one of Toronto's most successful events of the summer and a significant tourist attraction. Beaches Jazz continues to be one of the few remaining free jazz festivals and the leading festival for promoting Canadian musical talent.

Tradition always starts somewhere, and we hope that this module will inspire a few new seedlings of the Vegan tradition to take root.

Climate change is with us. A decade ago it was conjecture, now the future is unfolding before our eyes.

These changes reveal that the world has not been as warm as it is now for more than a millennium.
Now, more than ever, Mother Earth needs us to tread as lightly on her as possible. But, how do we change the deeply embedded lifestyles and habits?
