Toronto’s Harris Institute to Close After Nearly 40 Years: ‘We’ve Had a Good Run’

The long-running music school's decision is reportedly a result of the provincial government's changes to post-secondary education, including visa restrictions for international students and the elimination of grants for private college students.

In December, Toronto’s Harris Institute close its doors. The Canadian music education institution, located at 118 Sherbourne Street, will cease operations after 37 years.
