Front Street Foods and Junked Food Company Give Back with Blue Jays Ice Cream
19 Jul 2016/1 Comment/in Clients, Embrace Disruption Blog /by Embrace Disruption PRToronto’s most popular food destination to offer up specialty scoops to benefit the Jays Care Foundation
TORONTO, ON (July 19, 2016) – As the summer months continue to heat up, Front Street Foods (FSF) at Adelaide Place (150 York Street — at the corners of both Adelaide/University Avenue and Adelaide/York) has partnered with Junked Food Company (one of FSF’s 19+ vendors) to create a unique way to give back while cooling down — a specialty Blue Jays ice cream, available exclusively at the pop-up market. The cone, which features ballpark popcorn, sour blue raspberry sugar and blue chocolate will be on sale from now until August 5th for $6.25, with one dollar from each sale being donated to the Jays Care Foundation.
“We wanted to find a unique and memorable way to contribute to our community, ” says Melissa Zuker, co-founder of TMCo. “With Junked Food Company’s creativity, we were able to develop a sweet and savoury way for our customers to give back to the Jays Care Foundation, an important organization that focuses on improving the lives of Canadian children.”
In addition to introducing the new Blue Jays ice cream, Front Street Foods will also be hosting their first food crawl, in collaboration with popular Instagrammer TO’s Finest. The food crawl, which is available from now until August 5th allows customers to purchase an official passport for just $5.00 <insert link> and visit any of the 19+ Front Street Food vendors after 2PM to claim a specially priced dish for just $8.00. A portion of the food crawl passport proceeds will be donated to Community Food Centres Canada.
Last year, Front Street Foods (which started on Front Street at Union Station) quickly became a must-visit attraction in Toronto, drawing huge crowds to covet local cuisine throughout the summer months. This year, conveniently located on the 2nd floor terrace accessible directly from the street by an outdoor staircase at Adelaide Place (at the corner of York and Adelaide and also accessible from University and Adelaide), FSF is an oasis in the city featuring pop-up vendors crafting their dishes on-site, along with craft beers and specialty drinks for attendee’s immediate indulgence. Whether looking for a delectable daytime snack, or a satisfying lunch solution, or an after work bite the market features temptations for any palate.
Front Street Foods, presented by Toronto Market Company (TMCo.) and Dream Office REIT, is open for the public to enjoy weekdays until August 5, 2016 from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, and until 8 p.m. Wednesday to Friday (with breakfast vendors opening early at 8 a.m.).

For the students in Woodstock, Ontario
07 Jun 2016/0 Comments/in Embrace Disruption Blog /by Embrace Disruption PRNormally I don’t use this blog as an outlet for social activism. In fact, I don’t encourage any of the staff who write on this blog to touch on subjects that may be sensitive, as we’re a PR firm, and I want us to remain neutral. Through the years of witnessing scandals like Ghomeshi and Ford, I’ve tried to maintain a relatively neutral stance, because I don’t think it’s our place to draw or state opinion. Today that changes.
Waking up this morning and seeing my hometown of Woodstock, Ontario on the news has me distressed. For those that don’t know, five teens have committed suicide this year in the city, and it has resulted in students of all five Woodstock high schools standing up in protest. Growing up in the small town of Woodstock myself as a gay teen, I had many challenges. The first being that my family was well known within the community: my grandfather was once the mayor and my own father owns a prominent business on Dundas Street, the main vein of the community. Beyond that, I also had a little brother who I knew would come up through the school system after me, meaning I wanted to be careful where I stepped so his life wouldn’t be a nightmare. You see, being gay in Woodstock was like being on the bad side of Donald Trump.
Despite my efforts to keep a low profile, my “secret” certainly wouldn’t be ignored. From my gym teacher calling me a “faggot” to my guidance counsellor referring to me as “she” (after years of knowing me), I faced adversity in my school. Outside of the school, regular practises involved throwing gasoline at myself and my friends, along with cigarette butts, deemed good enough for the “faggot” skin.
You can imagine my dismay when even after graduating, which I did in a hurry using credits I’d earned outside the school with singing lessons (instead of sticking OAC out), I heard my straight brother was subject to the same ridicule and torment.
Woodstock has had a problem since 1999. That’s 17 years of teens going through the system with torment. I’m writing today to share my story and let Woodstock youth know that things can get better. I also know if I didn’t have such a supportive and wonderful family that helped me through these tough times, I’m not sure I would’ve made it either.
It’s time for change.
Cory Stewart
If you, or someone you know is having a tough time growing up in Woodstock and wants help, please email cory@embracedisruption.com – I’ll do what I can to get you the help you need.

Client News: Community One Foundation Awards $38,000 in Rainbow Grants to Thirteen LGBTTIQQ2S Recipients
18 May 2016/0 Comments/in Clients, Embrace Disruption Blog /by Embrace Disruption PR
Foundation supports upcoming community projects with the help of Royal Bank of Canada and individual donors.
TORONTO, ON (May 17, 2016) -‐ On the evening of Thursday, May 12, 2016, Community One Foundation held a celebratory reception at The 519 (519 Church St., Toronto) to present 13 recipients with their 2016 Rainbow Grants. The Rainbow Grant program, which began in 1980, is one of many foundation initiatives supporting the LGBTTIQQ2S community, funded through donations from individual donors and corporate partners.
For over thirty years, Rainbow Grants have helped nurture the early days of many Greater Toronto LGBTTIQQ2S community initiatives, grassroots projects, established organizations and one-off projects. The Grants are awarded in three different tiers; General (up to $1,000) for projects or people that are not a part of an organization, charity or corporation, Foundation (between $3,000 ‐ $5,000), and the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Community Award of $10,000 (donated by RBC).
The recipients of the $38,000 in Rainbow Grants this year are:
- Newcomer Women’s Services of Toronto ‐ Kyle Rae Award ‐ a fusion project which will create queer‐positive ESL curricula for newcomers with the intent to train 10 LTGBQI+ newcomer youth to research global Queer history, and collaborate with ESL instructors to develop ESL curricula for Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada.
- Native Women in the Arts, in partnership with Tities Wîcinímintôwak // Bluejays Dancing Together : Living Legacies: Two-Spirit Stories ‐ RBC Community Award ‐ a series of art workshops and a final exhibition that centres the stories of Two‐Spirit communities in Toronto. Each workshop will provide opportunities to develop things like ideas, feelings and stories that they will be able to share with others if they so choose.
- Black Lives Matter (Freedom School) ‐ a three-week-long summer program for children aged 4–10. The purpose of this project is to respond to a lack of humanizing, self‐affirming, queer‐positive educational opportunities for black children in the GTA.
- QUAKE, Tessa Gooden (Original EP) ‐ recording, production and release of an original EP album by local artist, Tessa Gooden.
- Outsport (Website Redesign) ‐ to develop their Toronto website into a mobile‐focused and youth‐targeted initiative. This will allow for the LGBTTIQQ2S community in the GTA to remain informed of upcoming queer‐friendly sporting events and the community’s various sport leagues.
- Festival Franco Fierté (Pride Month Events) ‐ a series of events during Toronto Pride month, including Francophone shows, concerts, photo exhibitions, cultural tours of the village and a stage at the Pride Toronto event.
- Inside Out (LGBTQ Film & Cultural Programming) ‐ to provide LGBTQ film and cultural programming, working in partnership with arts, service and community organizations, seniors/long term care residences, and TDSB schools, to under‐served neighbourhoods with little to no LGBTQ programming. The project provides films, culture, discussions, resources, and community connections to LGBTQ individuals in their own communities.
- Lemontree Creations (Staging of upcoming play, The Body Politic) ‐ a play documenting Canadian queer history as it re‐imagines the story of the birth, existence and eventual demise of one of Canada’s seminal queer publications, The Body Politic.
- ACE RADIO (Toronto’s asexual community’s broadcast initiative on Radio Regent) ‐ engaging 20 diverse participants (ages 18+) in producing a monthly (nine‐part) digital broadcast about issues impacting asexual communities. As a result, vulnerable young people will gain transferable broadcast skills like technical equipment training, while practicing communication, teamwork, leadership, and critical thinking through participatory media making.
- AIDS Committee of Durham (LGBTQ Youth of Colour Program) ‐ a yearlong pilot project with the goal of creating a strong sense of community among LGTBQ+ Youth Of Colour (YOC) along with providing them with HIV prevention education and safer sex practices.
- SAGA Collectif ‐ for support of outreach initiatives in relation to their project, Black Boys, which is an innovative and multidisciplinary theatrical event that unpacks the lived experience of three Black queer men in pursuit of an emancipated Black imagination. Black Boys will be co‐produced at Buddies In Bad Times Theatre in 2016.
- Asian Community AIDS Services (Multilingual Transgender Resources for Asian Parents and Families) ‐ to decrease challenges Asian families and Transgender youth face when youth come out, this program plans to develop culturally- and linguistically-appropriate educational resources as tools to increase parents’ understanding and acceptance of their child’s gender identity. The resources will be translated to seven Asian languages and distributed in print and online.
- Egale Canada Human Rights Trust (Grandfamily Project) ‐ a documentary project will tell the story of a queer couple searching to adopt an LGBTTIQQ2S elder into their family to be the grandparent of their soon‐to‐be‐born child. As the due date of the pregnancy nears, they must figure out how to access Toronto’s often-isolated queer elders, finding someone who fits into their family and is up for the commitment. In the process they must confront generational differences in the LGBTTIQQ2S community, build trust, face the possibility of disappointment, and reckon with their own family histories.
“We are delighted to present this year’s Rainbow Grants to such a diverse group of communities in the areas of education, health, human rights, arts, culture, research and advocacy,” said Community One Co‐ Chair Terry Greene. “Each year, our allocation committee remains dedicated to awarding recipients in these sectors to create a demonstrable impact on the broader community.”
Past recipients of Rainbow Grants include organizations such as Inside Out, AIDS Committee of Toronto, LGBT Youth Line and the 519 Community Centre.
