The Canadian Film Centre(CFC)’s annual BBQ Fundraiser is a highlight of the TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival). The event brings together members of the Canadian film and television industry to celebrate the achievements of the CFC in the area of education in film, tv, music and digital media. This year, for the 28th annual bbq, approximately 2000 guests came to the beautiful grounds of the Windfields Estate in North York to pay tribute to the accomplishments of Canadian talents. Funds raised at the event go to help the CFC‘s various programs.
