Exhibition of Kashmir Shawls at The Textile Museum
Fashionably Wrapped: The Influence of Kashmir Shawls
Nov 18, 2009 - May 30, 2010
 This exhibition traces the origins of the shawl from the noble courts of India, where finely woven pieces were made and worn for several centuries, to the high-fashion market in Europe, where shawls were desired for their unusual beauty and exquisite weaving. With 33 beautiful examples from the Textile Museum's permanent collection, the exhibition will examine how in Europe the shawl became a symbol of femininity, integrating the romantic exoticism of the 18th century with the Victorian values of innocence and decency of the mid 19th century. With their warm colours and luxurious softness, the Kashmir shawl and its European imitations embody a cross cultural phenomenon with roots in India but identified with France and Great Britain
Textile Museum of Canada
Open daily from 11:00 am - 5:00 pm
Open Wednesdays from 11:00 am - 8:00 pm
Open on Family Day

Sharing Sports - Cricket Across the Pond
Sharing Sports - Cricket across the Pond is a community initiative led by Chartered Institute Management Accountants (CIMA) Canada in partnership with the City of Toronto, Access and Diversity Unit of Parks, Forestry and Recreation to provide opportunities to youth from diverse neighbourhoods and to develop social cohesion and interaction among young people through cricket.
The program offers fully paid cricket training in the UK and an opportunity to represent CIMA Toronto Mayor's X1 during their visit to UK in August 2010.
Sharing Sports is a Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation initiative aimed at welcoming and encouraging newcomers and diverse groups to take part in sports. By Sharing Sports we can help to alleviate some of the barriers to participation by diverse communities and equity seeking groups. Sports speak to a universal language of sharing and Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation is committed to creating opportunities for every Torontonian to participate in the sporting realm.
In order to be considered for the Cricket Across the Pond scholarship, you must:
* Possess a high level of proficiency in cricket
* Be between the ages of 16 - 20
* Willing to travel to the United Kingdom for 14 days
* Be a resident of Toronto
