The Remix Project raised $30,000.00 on Thursday June 11th at their Give Money, Make Change fundraiser. The night was such a success and I took a lot of pictures to capture the moment. Shouts to The Remix Project & all the blogs x media outlets that were involved. Also, shouts to all my Twitter/Facebook friends that I met that night, lol. Take a look!
Stolen from 1LOVETO. I’m going to post my pictures from last night when I get home from work!

For those young aspiring T.O. photographers, here’s your chance to sharpen your skills for a purpose. Our friend, William Nguyen has started a photography program called Concrete Willderness that aims to explore our city, our communities, our people and their stories. He will be accepting 6 participants for the first semester starting in June, which will be running on weekends throughout the year.
“As young leaders with a such a powerful device, I think it’s our duty to document and create consciousness.” – Will
If you’re interested in applying please email will.ngu@gmail.com with answers to the following questions:
1) Name
2) Age
3) What part of the city you’re from
4) Why you’re interested in the program?
The Remix Project has been receiving awards and accolades since it’s inception in October of 2006. Running for almost three years now, the program has successfully graduated close to a 120 young people from diverse backgrounds and situations through it’s programs who have gone on to comprise the backbone of Toronto’s burgeoning urban cultural and lifestyle industries.
Despite all these successes for the young people and cultural industries of Toronto, The Remix Project itself approaches a state of crises. Nearly half of its funding came through the direction of research from National Crime Prevention Canada (NCPC). Deemed a success by NCPC and even worthy of replication in other cities around the country, they are unfortunately unable to continue to fund any project past its initial “pilot” and “research” phase.
Add to this the fact that the program’s lease is up at their current location come August 31st with no chance for renewal (the building is being torn down to make way for new condominium developments) and the need for community support for the United Nations award-winning, mayor’s community safety panel priority, life and technical skills program is major.
