The 10th annual rock and roll themed Brewers Plate (#RockThePlate) in support of War Child Canada now boasts a Canadian rock legend as the celebrity guest DJ. Ian D'Sa of the band Billy Talent will trade in his guitar for a sound mixer as he joins the incredible roster of Ontario brewers and locally renowned restaurants and Chefs as they create the ultimate rock and roll pairing experience. It all happens on May 4, 2017 at the Corus Quay Building (25 Dockside Drive) from 6pm to 11pm. The 2017 edition of Brewers Plate is in partnership with Q107 and 102.1 The Edge.

"I'm very proud to be involved with War Child Canada, the work they are doing to help children in war-affected communities offers hope beyond borders," said Ian D'Sa, guitarist for the band Billy Talent. "Come celebrate their efforts at this year's Brewers Plate, where you can help raise awareness for those who need it most while enjoying a great evening of all things rock and roll."
