There are only, like, three cities in Canada where you can get specialized theatre training: Vancouver, Calgary (I think...or Edmonton, I can't remember which...but I'm pretty sure it's Calgary), and Toronto. Other places offer theatre programs, but not to the degree of these schools. And most of the other schools tend to specialize in acting more than anything else.

From those three, I think Toronto actually has the most. We have Ryerson, U of T, U of G Humber, the International Academy for Arts and Design, OCAD for design and what-have-you, and probably a whole bunch more.. as well as York, further north. And that's just in the city itself. Within an hour's drive, there's also McMaster, U of Guelph, and slightly further then that, there's Laurier, Waterloo, and Brock. And they all offer theatre programmes. XD
Oooooh, Aindel! Help me with my pattern reading for next year? <3<3 Cause I'm a twit and can't read patterns.

Come to York!!!!! We rock there. Seriously. Plus, we're the only theatre school in Canada with a light lab. Who cares, you may ask? ....Okay, so nobody really, but they're dead useful things to have. Clover: McMaster, Laurier and all the others you listed are good for general theatre education, but they're not specialized. You'll only graduate from there with a BA, whereas a specialized theatre degree is a BFA (which is what you get from York, UofT, and Ryerson. Humber is a college, so it's a different system).

That doesn't change the fact that York rocks and she should come here! We have cool classes for theatre studies (the stream minors are placed under), too! Like Asian theatre, puppetry, gender in theatre... It's not my stream, so I don't know too many specifics. It kinda creeps me out, how much school spirit-y-type feelings I have now that I'm not stuck in high school.

Fuck York. She should go to McMaster. Because McMac is -the- shit. No contest, no qualms, no substitutes. *huff* And because! Mac is cool. And has lots of pretty majors and stuff. *strokes Trey* I'll bake you cookies? Also, yes... come to Toronto. Poppy can come too. [lord knows we'll need all the money we can get, if we're renting in Toronto-Proper. Y_Y] *Snuggles Spammy* And what do you want to do, love?
