My City, My Life provides a glimpse into the lives of 24 celebrated
Toronto personalities in arts and entertainment, sports, politics, and
business as well as some of Toronto's unsung heroes including firefighters,
paramedics and teachers. This photography exhibit takes viewers behind the
scenes to reveal a typical day in the life of these Torontonians. Some of the
faces are instantly recognizable from the media. Some have dedicated their
lives to ensuring the safety and prosperity of this city. Regardless of
whether these 24 people are awake after midnight or before dawn, working the
graveyard shift or 9 to 5, sweating through a spinning class or shoveling
snow, they're all doing their best to squeeze the most out of life 24 hours at
a time. And My City, My Life will document it.
The works of those 24 photographers will provide a varied look at Toronto
- the diverse and the beautiful. To honour the visuals provided by the
photographers, their works will be displayed in the main floor of Toronto City
Hall. The Rotunda will be transformed with individual pavilions and
projections that will bring the exhibit to life.
The Mayor also announced other details about the second annual WinterCity
presented by American Express Foundation. The festival is a 14-day, city-wide
celebration of Toronto's culture, creativity, cuisine and incomparable
diversity of spirit. Running from January 28 - February 10, 2005, this
festival dares audiences to forget the weather and join the party in the
world's coolest city. With stellar free indoor and outdoor programming, the
hugely popular prix fixe restaurant promotion, Winterlicious, plus tons of
winter events and discounts at Toronto's attractions, WinterCity provides the
perfect opportunity for tourists and locals to sample the city's vibrant arts
scene.
