Once upon an strangely sultry November evening, media folk gathered at Banu for Toronto's All-Media Party. Banu's exotic backdrop set the scene for an exciting party as guests enjoyed tasty flavored hookahs and an assortment of vodka concoctions from the bar. It may have been chilly outside, but this party was smoking!

Many thanks to Banu for providing such a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our event.
