Canadian Music Week (CMW) officially takes over various Toronto venues today! CMW is Canada’s leading annual entertainment event aimed to expand the growth of the country’s music, media and entertainment industries. Combining three information-intensive conferences; a trade exposition; a film festival; a comedy festival; four awards shows and the Canada’s largest new music festival, CMW spans a ten-day period from May 1 to May 10.
