What’s the Big IDEA?On any given day, there are dozens of ideas to explore at Harbourfront Centre,across a broad range of artistic disciplines and cultural programmes. Ourcurators have an eye for original trends and connections in contemporaryculture – and they want you to see what they see.

Often, we observe a recurring idea emerging across various disciplines andevents. We call this the “Big IDEA” and present it for you to consider aspart of your Harbourfront Centre experience. It’s our way of highlightingjust one of the many ideas you'll find here year-round.

This summer, the Big IDEA is “globalocal.” To read more about it, see page 4.

If you’re struck by a particular idea you see in our programming or if you’dlike to send us your reactions to our Big IDEA, we’d love to hear from you!Email [email protected] or tweet @HarbourfrontTO with#whatsthebigidea

There’s so much to do this

Creating a better heart.Harbourfront Centre, the heart of Toronto’s waterfront, is undergoing an extensivesite transformation to remove the existing surface parking lot, build an attractiveunderground parking facility and create new public spaces and amenities for ourcentral waterfront site.

All buildings and spaces are open as usual during construction. However, if you’replanning to drive, please note that the parking lot between York Quay Centre andQueen’s Quay Terminal is closed.

For complete information and updates, visit harbourfrontcentre.com/construction.

A series of FREE weekend festivals thatrun July through September, WorldRoutes explores ideas in contemporaryculture, bringing together rich, artistictraditions from around the globe.

This summer, we explore the Big IDEA of“globalocal.” While some nations fragmentinto smaller, culturally distinct regionsand other cultures migrate across theworld, questions are inevitably raised:How do we connect with one another?How does our world shrink and expandover time? What – if any – are theboundaries of our global village?

We invite to you consider your ownglobal standing during World Routes.For more on our curatorial vision, visitharbourfrontcentre.com/worldroutes.
