From the Youth Soccer Clinic to Outdoor Movie Night, it’s been an incredible past month in Toronto’s East End as we celebrated Game On East End while we cheered on our favourite teams at the World Cup.
As we officially wrap up Game On East End, we’d like to acknowledge and thank our partners who made this whole campaign possible:
The City of Toronto’s Community Celebration Support Fund and World In a City Small Business Support Fund, Riverside BIA, Leslieville BIA, Fontbonne Ministries, Ralph Thornton Community Centre, Toronto Public Library -Queen/Saulter Branch, East End Arts, SH Armstrong Youth Council, and BlessedLove Caribbean Grocery & Takeout.
