I was very pleased to attend the opening reception of the "Scarborough Cultural Strategy Symposium" at the Guild Inn on April 8. The arts, music, literature and our multicultural heritage were discussed by a variety of very interesting speakers from across our diverse ethnic community. Do you have any ideas or priorities for the cultural strategy task force? Give me a call at 416-321-3800 and I'll pass them along.
