Toronto's Orbit Room Launches Reopening Fundraiser
Published Feb 26, 2021
Last summer, Toronto's Orbit Room — a space co-founded by Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson known for hosting live performances each night of the week — shuttered its doors permanently as a result of the financial strain caused by pandemic restrictions.
Now, owner Tim Notter has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help with costs associated with a potential reopening plan and existing debts.
Notter writes:
I am the sole owner of the Orbit Room and have been for more than 10 years. For 23 of the 25 years we were open, we had a live band play every night of the year. We prided ourselves with running a club where the bands were treated with respect and got paid well for their talent and efforts.
