Music Canada deeply concerned regarding the uncertain future for the iconic sign from Sam the Record Man
When the building was purchased, it was deemed important enough to warrant an agreement with Ryerson University for its restoration and reinstallation. Its value has not waned.
We encourage members of the Toronto City Council and the Economic Development Department to pursue a solution that will ensure the sign is properly restored, maintained and mounted so that it can be enjoyed by the public. The financial responsibility for these activities should be assumed by Ryerson University in accordance with the original agreement. If an alternate location must be found for the restored sign, the Toronto music community will be pleased to help identify an appropriate choice.
Sincerely,
Amy Terrill
