TORONTO
First Aired
: May 15, 2002

Toronto is Canada's largest city, home to over 4.5 million people. We start off this edition of Bump! on Church Street, the heart of the gay community. Here, we tour the neighbourhood with gay city councillor Kyle Rae, and learn how this part of town became the "gay village." Often described as "Hollywood North," Toronto has stood in for US cities in numerous film and television productions. Bump! visits with Sharon Gless and Jack Weatherall, stars of the acclaimed North American version of "Queer As Folk", set in Pittsburgh and filmed in Toronto. For art collectors, the options are endless. We drop by the studio of queer underwear artist, Will Munro, where Bump! host J.R. Anderson models his avant-garde designs. Shopaholics will revel as we visit some of Toronto's many gay-owned and gay-friendly shops and stores. Fashionistas thrive in Toronto where Bump! attends Fashion Week and interviews local success story Dean and Dan Caten, gay twin designers now based in Milan, as they unveil their fall DSQUARED2 collection. We also get front row seats at Fashion Cares, a glittering annual event that has raised over $5 million for Toronto's AIDS/HIV charities. Finally, we round out our trip with a tour of gay-owned B&B's and guesthouses before we head to back to the gay village and check out the hopping social scene.
