AREA 5 CONTEST, MAY 23-25, 2025
After a highly successful, sold out show at York Woods Library Theatre in Toronto, the Accolades went on to compete in their Area 5 Contest at the Sheraton Parkway Hotel in Richmond Hill. Last year the Accolades won the award for Most Improved Chorus and this year they continued to see their judging scores go up. Four talented new members joined us for their first time on the contest stage, which was also exciting.

THANK YOU, KENNEDY ROAD CHARITABLE GAMING ASSOCIATION!
Thanks to the generous support of the Kennedy Road Charitable Gaming Association, the Toronto Accolades were able to make significant Christmas donations to several of our neighbourhood charities again this year. By volunteering at the Gaming Centre, we receive funds not only to assist our own organization but also to help out worthwhile charities such as the ones listed below.
The Toronto Accolades were able to offer cheques in the amount of $8,000 to four community charities. We contributed to NeighbourLink North York in the establishment of their second food hub in our community. We gave to North York Harvest Food Bank, which is in great need of assistance as all food banks have seen demand almost double over the past few years. We were also happy to be able to present a cheque to the Salvation Army, Toronto Division, and to the North York Women's Shelter, both of which do such worthwhile work within the community.
In April, 2025, The Kennedy Road Gaming Centre held a Volunteer Appreciation Event which was enjoyed by several of our chorus members, seen in the photo below.
