Background on The Remix Project:
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.

I am bare impressed with the article I have just read. I wish the writer of http://www.remixtorio.com can continue to provide so much worthwhile information and unforgettable experience to http://www.remixtorio.com readers. There is not much to say except the following universal truth: Good music was made (and continues to be made) in every decade and people who claim otherwise, tend to have stopped listening to music in whatever decade they say was the best I will be back.

i probably would not have figured this had been handy a handful of years ago but yet it’s amusing the way in which age varies the means by which you experience new kinds of creative ideas, thank you regarding the article it is pleasing to browse through something clever occasionally instead of the normal crap mascarading as blogs on the internet, cheers
