Community strength for VEMU as a member of the Bloor Street Culture Corridor

On July 31st, Toronto entered Stage 3 of Ontario’s provincial re-opening plan, 14 days after the rest of the province.

After a long pause of in-person live events, indoor gatherings, and tourism, arts and cultural organizations are expanding their activity as much as they can, based on what is allowed. Keeping everyone safe and also providing much-needed cultural sustenance has required a combination of clever ideas and teamwork.

I say teamwork because as an institution of our community, VEMU, the Museum of Estonians Abroad, works alongside other local museums, cultural centres, and venues to develop cultural programming here in Toronto.

VEMU is part of a broader network of cultural organizations called the Bloor Street Culture Corridor. The Bloor Street Culture Corridor was created in April 2014, and is currently made up of 22 member institutions from Bathurst Street all the way to Bay Street.
