Iconic Sam the Record Man sign shines again in Toronto after more than a decade
Toronto’s iconic Sam the Record Man sign is shining again a month after crews installed it at its new home above a busy downtown hub.
The sign, featuring two enormous spinning discs on a red background, was re-lit Wednesday evening atop a Toronto Public Health building, overlooking Yonge and Dundas Square.
Mayor John Tory, Ryerson University president Mohamed Lachemi and family members of former owner Sam Sniderman attended the lighting ceremony.
The sign used to adorn the Yonge Street business owned by Sniderman, who was a major promoter of Canadian music.
