Hard to believe that it's already mid-January. Tourism Toronto has an action-packed calendar year for festivals and events, new hotel openings, and culinary experiences. Following your trip to Toronto last year, we wondered if you might know a fellow writer you think would like to check out the city in the months ahead. I'd also love to have you back to Toronto if there's an area you didn't get to explore last time that you're interested in seeing. Look forward to hearing from you and working with you again this year! Best, Kristen Received by NSD/<strong>FARA</strong> Registration Unit 05/01/2012 4:09:43 PM
