Nuit Blanche is upon us, and the streets of Toronto will be once again filled with unique pieces of art. Today in TO host Dani Stover speaks with Heidi Reitmaier, the executive director of "Myseum of Toronto" about what installations people should check out and how one...or 52 to be accurate, are connected to the theme of the year. After that, Dani Stover explores why we not only need to protect the arts in this city but the artists also. She is joined by Grace Lee Reynolds, the CEO, and Brooke Duval, the Executive Director of the Toronto Artscape Foundation. They tell Dani how hard it can be for artists to live and create in Toronto, what organizations like the Toronto Artscape Foundation do to protect the culture, and what you can do too. Finally, producer Glenn Bragonier fills you in on the weird and interesting history of a building on Dupont that will soon be demolished, but at one point helped the Allies win World War II...amongst many other things.

I'm sure many of you were face to face with friends and family this Easter weekend. In our case, we had a great chance to visit with people we have seen (save a video chat) for years thanks to COVID. That is good news for our collective psyche and it's also good for businesses and cultural events that rely so heavily on the in-person experience. Myseum Toronto's annual festival is among the many benchmark events in Toronto that make this city the coolest place on the planet and all the more this month because the event has shifted from remote to in person at various locations across the city. Myseum's Executive Director Heidi Reitmaier joins us to talk about the Intersections Festival 2022.

Glen Assoun spent nearly 17 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. But even after his sentence was overturned, the evidence that freed him remained sealed. Reporters fought successfully to have that evidence released. What they found not only raises questions about the investigation, but reveals the outright deletion of evidence pointing to another killer. Tim Bousquet of The Halifax Examiner fought for transparency in this case, alongside the CBC and the Canadian Press. You can read all of his reporting here.
