2026 Community Builder Award Recipients

At our Holiday Banquet on December 5, we honoured our 2025 Toronto Centre Community Builder Award recipients. This year, we awarded 12 outstanding Toronto Centre residents who are dedicated to enacting positive change in their neighbourhoods, three exemplary community organizations that empower and unite the people they serve and, for the first time, recognized City staff and a member of 51 Division who went above and beyond in their roles to make Toronto Centre a more welcoming and inclusive place to live in 2025.
