“Community organizations are the backbone of every thriving neighbourhood and
our most important partners in driving positive change at the grassroots level.
Today, I am pleased to congratulate the well-deserving 25 award recipients that
are changing the face of Toronto by helping us bridge gaps, uplift communities
and ensure equity in every corner of our city.”

“It is a privilege to celebrate our city’s champions—those dedicated staff,
volunteers, and organizations whose commitment has not only sustained but also
uplifted our community through some of its toughest times. Despite the
challenges we face, these award recipients embody the spirit of Toronto—vibrant,
dedicated, and relentlessly hopeful. Let’s be inspired to act and carry this
spirit forward—whether through volunteering, donating, or simply spreading the
word—each contribution helps build a stronger, more supportive city.”  

– Daniele Zanotti, President and CEO, United Way Greater Toronto
