Will Munro, 1975-2010: Toronto has lost a great city builder
Very sad news today. After a long illness that he fought longer and harder than any doctor expected, Toronto has lost Will Munro. Will was a cultural force in this city and helped change the way we think about Toronto’s geography and expanded ideas of where various communities are supposed to live and play. Along the way he created new spaces for untold numbers of people (many of whom may never even knew of him or that he was behind the event or place they were enjoying). He was an artist; a volunteer; a community councillor; a DJ, an impresario; an entrepreneur; and a friend to many and civic glue to so many more.
