Diversity and Compassion

bill-MourneauOn December 15th, our local Member of Parliament, Bill Morneau, hosted a large Holiday Party in Regent Park, highlighting the many backgrounds that make up our vibrant community. “There’s no better place in Canada than Toronto Centre to see the diversity and compassion that make this such a special time of year” said Minister Morneau in his remarks, which also highlighted the positive work of our community and the Federal Government.

 
Held at Daniels Spectrum, the party was attended by over 300 people and included performances by the Regent Park School of Music and Snooky Tynes & the Soul Express. The crowd provided a warm welcome to former M.P. and special guest, the Hon. Bob Rae, who gave a moving speech, highlighting the importance of Toronto Centre’s compassion and inclusiveness.
