Nominations Now Open: Toronto Community Champion Award

The Toronto Community Champion Award, made possible through the support and partnership of United Way of Greater Toronto, recognizes the extraordinary contributions that community organizations make to support the health, interests and well-being of Toronto residents, particularly those from Indigenous, Black and other equity-deserving groups, communities and areas. The deadline to nominate an organization is Sunday, February 1.
