The annual Thank You Toronto/Ontario campaign has awarded six Ontario communities with a $5,000 donation each.
Recipients are Grandview Children’s Centre Foundation in Durham Region; Carling Youth Sports Complex and Shawanaga First Nations Reserve Recreational Centre, both located in the Nobel/Parry Sound area; Hospice King in King Township; Community Centre 55 in the East Toronto/ Beaches neighborhood; St. Alban’s Boy’s and Girl’s Club and Senior Adult Services In The Annex, both in Toronto’s Ward 13; and Tollkeeper’s Cottage Restoration Project in Ward 14.
The funding is donated from the province’s film, tv and commercial production industry to acknowledge the role of residents and businesses in location filming. The six communities chosen were featured in numerous shoots over the past year.
