Doors Open Toronto announces 2017 theme honouring Canada's sesquicentennial
The 18th annual Doors Open Toronto returns on May 27 and 28. In honour of Canada's 150th birthday, the theme is "15 Decades of Canadian Architecture."
Doors Open Toronto will feature 150 buildings representing each decade since the 1860s, as well as a collection of buildings from the pre-Confederation era. The theme shines light on the evolution of Canadian architecture, with a special focus on Centennial-period buildings and architects from the 1960s.
An exciting program of free Walking Tours will reference the stories and history of Toronto's many neighbourhoods, both in a historical and a contemporary sense. Other offerings in this year's Doors Open Toronto include the "OpenInsights" speaker series, with talks on topics such as the identity of current Canadian architecture, as well as special programs and more than 40 new participants in the building lineup.
This year, Doors Open Toronto is part of TO Canada with Love, the City of Toronto's year-long program of celebrations, commemorations and exhibitions. TO Canada with Love programs and events are funded in part by the Province of Ontario.
More details on Doors Open Toronto, including a complete list of this year's buildings, walking tours and talks, will be available in early May at http://www.toronto.ca/doorsopen.
