The goal of this Expression of Interest (EOI) is to obtain a roster of artists who will be eligible to participate in this project.

Today Mayor John Tory and Councillor Jennifer McKelvie (Ward 25 Scarborough-Rouge Park), Vice-Chair of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee and the Mayor's Resilience and Environmental Champion, officially marked the beginning of tunnel boring for the Coxwell Bypass Tunnel.

The nomination deadline for the 2020 Agnes Macphail Award is midnight on Friday, January 10, 2020.

Nominators should satisfy themselves that the candidate has volunteered in several fields, not just one, and that the various commitments extend over considerable periods of time.
