Mayor Olivia Chow to present Key to the City to world-renowned filmmaker

Tomorrow, Mayor Olivia Chow will present a Key to the City, honouring a celebrated filmmaker whose visionary work has helped shape global cinema and who has maintained a long-standing creative relationship with Toronto.

The Key to the City presentation will take place during a joint ceremony with Cinespace Studios, which also includes the renaming of the Marine Terminal campus sound stages in honour of the recipient’s contributions to the film industry and the city’s cultural landscape.

Date: Thursday, July 24
Time: 8:15 a.m.
Location: Cinespace Studios, Marine Terminal Campus, 8 Unwin Ave.
RSVP: Media are asked to RSVP to media@toronto.ca by 6 p.m. Media will be asked to check-in and wear their media badges on site.

In Toronto, the Key to the City is a traditional symbolic honour, as the city has no physical gates to unlock. The ceremonial key and certificate represent the City's recognition of exceptional civic contributions. The Mayor selects the recipients, acknowledging those who have contributed positively to Toronto and its residents.
