Ontario will host the 2011 International Indian Film Academy Awards.

The International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) announced in Mumbai that the 2011 awards will be held in the Greater Toronto Area, June 16-19. The announcement means tens of thousands of visitors to Ontario, millions of dollars for the Ontario economy and hundreds of millions of viewers watching all around the world.

Indian director Ramesh Sippy and film stars such as Dia Mirza, Celina Jaitley, Fardeen Khan, Vivek Oberoi, Preity Zinta, and Hrithik Roshan lent their support as Premier McGuinty thanked IIFA for the great honour of hosting the ceremony. Toronto will be the first North American city to host the Awards, which are held in a different international city every year.

The Awards will cap a four-day celebration of everything to do with Indian film, including a film festival and industry forum.

QUICK FACTS

The IIFA Awards are expected to draw over 500 people from the Indian film industry, about 40,000 visitors and an international television audience of more than 350 million. The first IIFA Awards were held at the Millennium Dome in London, England in 2000. The Toronto International Film Festival welcomes 450,000 people every year, including film executives, movie buffs and everyday citizens in a celebration of film.
• In 2007, IIFA changed their red carpet events to green carpet events to show their support for initiatives to fight climate change.
