Good Morning BIA Members, Unfortunately we are postponing tonight's BD Beats launch and we are postponing tomorrow night's band due to the very poor air quality. The BIA is an arm of the City of Toronto and the city is recommending that people stay indoors as much as possible today and tomorrow. We will be rebooking the bands and I will certainly let you all know the new launch dates once we've sorted things out. Thanks, Susan

I have to extend a huge thanks to Tom Walsh and the Carrot Common and their businesses…
