YEAR-END PARTY AND INSTALLATION CEREMONY, jUNE, 2025
The Accolades celebrated the end of a very successful year with a party at Judy G's house at the end of June. We had received enthusiastic reviews for our sold out chorus show in May, and had followed that with another climb in the scores when we competed at our annual Area 5 Contest.later in the month. Now it was time to celebrate. But we also took a few minutes to hand out certificates, thank members for their contributions to the chorus, and perform our customary Installation Ceremony to officially install our new Board of Directors for the coming year. May the year ahead be as good as the last, as we continue to move forward.
Deb (our new President), Vimi (honoured guest and former member), and Alana (our Director)

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.
