Russell Peters: Toronto’s first Global Ambassador
Posted by Indiglow.tv on Thursday May 15, 2008
Toronto’s first Global Ambassador is a South Asian. Toronto born and worldwide renowned comic, Russell Peters, was named as the city’s first global ambassador.
“Toronto is one of the only cities a Black, an Asian, an Indian, gay, straight, Italian, Portuguese, a Jewish or Muslim person can walk into a bar without a punch line happening after”, notes Peters. “That’s just what Toronto is.”
“In our business we compete literally with the entire world”, said David Whitaker, President and CEO of Tourism Toronto. “Russell can help us break through the noise and reveal the true personality of Toronto—the diverse, cosmopolitan experiences that make it such a tremendous place to live, work and visit. Russell has demonstrated that sometimes the best way to bring people together is by laughing.”
