Gordon Lightfoot is a world-renowned Canadian singer-song writer and guitarist, greatly admired by many coast-to-coast. Lightfoot has excelled in the genre of folk-rock and country music releasing hits such as “Sundown,” “If You Could Read My Mind,” and “I'm Not Sayin” - which climbed the charts in popularity in 1965, making him a household name. Lightfoot was nominated for four Grammy's and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1986. Later, Lightfoot was promoted to Companion of the Order of Canada in 2003. His music reflected the vastness of the land, the power of the Great Lakes and the warmth of Canada’s people. His soothing lyrics combined with his distinctive guitar accompaniment seemed to signal that while he was an international star, he was still rooted in the Canadian soul. Proclaiming his birth date - November 17 - as Gordon Lightfoot Day would commemorate the impact he left on the lives of many Torontonians and shed light on the legacy he left behind.
