From the Toronto International Film Festival 2007

The 2007 Toronto International Film Festival fills the days from September 6 to 15 with galas and premieres.

In early September each year, T-dot's downtown core is proud host to the Toronto International Film Festival, recognized (locally) as the world's 2nd most important festival, following Cannes, and, in true Canuck fashion, as the nicest. Despite its friendly subtext, TIFF is a heavy hitter, regularly featuring world and North American premieres.
