CREATING AN ACCESSIBLE

NEW ARTS HUB FOR TORONTO

WE ARE REVITALIZING

THE DOWNTOWN CORE WITH

A CULTURAL HUB FOR ALL

Opened in 1970, the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts is in a state of disrepair and the revitalization will bring it up to modern accessibility and sustainability standards.

The STLC has served Toronto well since 1970, but now is the time to re-energize the Centre to support the next generation of artists and performers, reach broader audiences, and catalyze new economic benefits for the city.

MAKING THE MOST OF

PUBLIC SPACE

We heard you.

Public feedback determined that the future STLC will be a place to see live performances. Learn more about the variety of public spaces and how you can use it.

WHO'S INVOLVED

Building the future STLC is an active meeting of many minds and lives — our neighbourhood, ongoing public consultations, Indigenous communities, local and international architects, theatre designers, creators, producers, the list goes on.

We believe in greater access to culture and shared spaces as core to building a thriving city.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

TO Live would like to acknowledge Tkaronto, which is a Mohawk word meaning “the place in the water where the trees are standing.” We live and work on the traditional territory of Haudenosaunee-speaking nations, including the Huron-Wendat, Seneca, and Mohawk. Haudenosaunee-speaking nations have been here since time immemorial, and were more recently joined by the Mississaugas of the Credit.

What this means is that by living and working here, we all have a responsibility to the environment and to each other, to treat each other and the environment with peace and respect. This means we have responsibilities to honour, renew, and consistently uphold the values and relationships outlined in the ancient agreements.

Today, Toronto is home to Indigenous peoples and settlers from around the world. Let us all come together in an atmosphere of respect and peace to do good work together with good minds. Let’s start building stronger and healthier relationships with each other and the spaces we inhabit in Tkaronto, Ontari:io, Kanata. Let’s hold our minds together in kindness.

Nia:wen. Thank you.
