Can you name 10 Black Canadian musicians who’ve made a significant contribution to music history? It’s a question Phil Vassell asks people who are interested in working with him on the Canada Black Music Archives (CBMA) in Toronto. “Most people struggle with getting to 10,” he says. “Now, what does that tell you? It tells you we’ve got a lot of work to do.”

In 2025, CBMA curated the "B’Lack Then: Muted Melodies" exhibition, which featured artifacts and memorabilia that detail the lives and legacies of 23 influential Black Canadian artists.

These excerpts are from an article written by Del Cowie for our Winter 2025 issue.

But before it was the unofficial uniform of birdwatchers, it was a solution to Alex Tilley’s distinctly Toronto problem.

Leah Rumack writes in our Autumn 2026 issue about how tilley hats got fashionable.

That impact has been significant. Six of the original members of the Group of Seven, for example, attended or worked at OCAD U. Now, 150 years since its opening, Ontario College of Art & Design University has become a sprawling Toronto institution, exceeding 4,000 students annually. But the institution had a humble beginning.
