World Music Day
World Music Day is a worldwide festival that takes place on June 21 to celebrate the wonderful gift of music! Why this date? It marks the first day of the summer - and longest day of the year - in the northern hemisphere!
In all corners of the world, thousands of professional and amateur musicians will flood stages, parks, and street corners to share their music. We have been counting down the days by sharing our favourite songs with the TIG community - take a look at our Facebook and Twitter to see what our Toronto team likes to listen to!
Annual Report 2012
Check out TIG's latest annual report for a comprehensive review of our activities last year.
2012 brought several exciting changes, improvements and accomplishments to the TIG Community, from the launch of our first mobile app, Commit2Act which helps to encourage environmentally-friendly actions, to supporting young social innovators through our Innovate For Good partnership with Microsoft.
Through the tireless effort of the TIG team including our amazing partners, interns, volunteers and supporters, we are bringing meaningful opportunities to youth everyday.
We are extremely proud to share our 2012 Annual Report with you, where you can take a look at all that we were able to achieve in 2012.
