New Semester - New Events!

I've been opening lots of exciting new doors this fall. I'm back at Humber College teaching two Special Event Management courses in the School of Hospitality, Recreation and Tourism, my students are doing 8 new events that have me extending my event leadership skills to a whole new level, and I've finished my first event season as the Outdoor Events Coordinator at the Distillery District.

This season I've had some great experiences coordinating the District's installations for Scotiabank Nuit Blanche, Food Truck Eats, TD Toronto Jazz Festival, Diner en Blanc, and countless others! If you've never experienced the Distillery District, or even if you have, and are looking for new Christmas shopping and entertainment options, check out or Toronto Christmas Market Dec. 2-18, 2011. It's an event not to be missed!
