“I was in my room at the Delta Hotel getting ready to speak for the National Payroll Institute at their Toronto conference for National Payroll Week. Glancing out the window, I noticed tiny red dots moving along the very top of the iconic CN Tower. A quick search revealed it was the EdgeWalk—and by sheer serendipity, a single spot was open that afternoon.
I walked over and found myself attached to a safety harness 116 stories above the city, completely surrounded by a high-energy bachelorette party (I was their plus one). Dancing on a five-foot ledge above Toronto with a group of celebrating strangers became an unforgettable lesson in leaning into unexpected opportunities. In business, the most memorable breakthroughs and strongest bonds happen when you step completely outside your comfort zone and embrace the extraordinary.”
Toronto has the unique feel of the 'smallest big city' in the world—an incredible metropolis packed with world-class entertainment, exceptional dining, and legendary sports.
If you are an out-of-province meeting planner coordinates an event in the GTA, Tyler is happy to share his favorite local insights.

Whether your team wants to catch an incredible theater show, experience a legendary concert event (like seeing Midnight Oil live), or find the perfect post-conference dining experience, Tyler helps ensure your attendees experience the absolute best the city has to offer.
