6th Annual Gala Press Conference
The CSHF’s 2010 Press Conference took place in the George Weston Recital Hall of the Toronto Centre for the Arts on January 19, 2010.
Co-hosts Geneviève Borne and Lily Frost revealed the 2010 inductees to be honoured at the 6th Annual Gala on March 28, 2010.
It was also announced that the CSHF and the Toronto Centre for the Arts have established a strategic partnership that will help expand the CSHF’s mandate by presenting regular and diverse music programming, on-going educational initiatives and a permanent "bricks & mortar" home for the Hall of Fame to be located at the TCA.
The audience, made up of media and industry movers and shakers, were treated to a special performance by Vincent Vallières, who played a rendition of 2010 Inductee Robert Charlebois’ Les ailes d’un ange. Hamilton’s own Jacob Moon gave a phenomenal performance of Subdivisions, written by 2010 Inductees, Rush.
