Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow announces an additional 1,000 Toronto Public Library museum attraction passes for families, as the mayoral election campaign continues ahead of the Oct. 27 vote.
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow has announced plans to increase the number of Toronto Public Library museum attraction passes available to families across the city. In a campaign statement Saturday morning, Chow said an additional 1,000 family passes will be made available to Toronto residents. The Toronto Public Library pass was first introduced in 2007 and allows residents to visit cultural centres and museums across the city, including the Art Gallery of Ontario, Aga Khan Museum, Toronto Zoo and Royal Ontario Museum.
Chow Highlights Cost Savings for Families
Chow said taking a family to a museum can cost over $100 in admission tickets and described such outings as very expensive. She stated that she will make it much easier for families to take advantage of what Toronto has to offer, for free. The additional passes aim to reduce financial barriers for families seeking cultural and recreational activities.
Toronto Public Library Passes Since 2007
The Toronto Public Library pass program began in 2007 and has provided residents with free access to major cultural attractions. Participating institutions include the Art Gallery of Ontario, Aga Khan Museum, Toronto Zoo and Royal Ontario Museum. The passes are available to Toronto residents and are intended to encourage visits to the city's cultural centres and museums.
Mayoral Campaign Continues with Other Events
The announcement comes as the Toronto mayoral election campaign continues. Mayoral candidate Brad Bradford is also scheduled to make an announcement later today in North York, while candidate Chris Alexander is scheduled to speak with residents in Scarborough.
