Summer's Edge is the MRIA 50th Anniversary Summer Party that captures the magic of those after work summer get togethers with friends, when all you need to do is kick back, relax, and let the evening unfold around you. Hosted at the stylish and airy Andrew Richard Designs Showroom in the heart of downtown Toronto, this evening promises effortless enjoyment.
Come hungry. Indulge in the mouth-watering summer fare. Try your hand at the ‘rock, paper, scissors' tournament. Chat and mingle with friends and colleagues. Enjoy the captivating voice and musicality of Suzie McNeil, a Canadian artist with Queen's 'We Will Rock You' Musical, a cross-Canada tour with David Usher, and her song 'Believe' appearing in the 11th release of Women & Song to her credit. She was also the last woman standing on the pressure-filled Rock Star: INXS

Suzie McNeil
Suzie was the last woman standing on the pressure-filled Rock Star: INXS and has gained a wealth of experience singing back-ups for P!nk- a duet with Clay Aiken, starring in the Toronto production of We Will Rock You, entertaining the troops in Afghanistan, and being a judge on YTV's talent search series: The Next Star. Suzie's song Believe has been featured on many network TV series including The Biggest Loser, Beauty & The Geek, The Hills, Oprah Winfrey's The Big Give, and So You Think You Can Dance Canada. Suzie teamed up with Bell Canada and the NAC Orchestra to create a version of Believe to be the official 2010 Olympic Inspired song and video to help raise funds for our athletes through the Own the Podium 2010 campaign. In 2008, Suzie was nominated for a Canadian Radio Music Award, a JUNO for Best New Artist, was a featured performer at this year's Canadian Songwriter's Hall of Fame Awards, and won The Canadian Independent Music award's Favourite Pop Artist/Group of the Year.
