On June 3, 2026, Community Living Toronto welcomed partners, community leaders, advocates, and supporters to our annual Patronโs Council Reception at BMO Financial Group First Canadian Place for an evening of meaningful conversations, new connections, and a shared commitment to building communities where everyone belongs.
We were honoured to be welcomed by Eric Hart, Managing Director and Head, Treasury and Payment Solutions and Global Transaction Banking, BMO, and to hear from John Tory, Patronโs Council Chair, and Brad Saunders, CEO who spoke about the importance of inclusion, and funding what matters. We also heard from Erica and Mary, members of CLTO Influencers, who shared their reflections on advocacy and much more. ๐ฌ
We extend our thanks to Lorne Coe, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Children, Community and Social Services, for his presence and for recognizing the provinceโs ongoing investment in the developmental services sector and its commitment to a more caring and inclusive Ontario.
The evening also provided an opportunity to formally welcome the newest members of our Patronโs Council, whose leadership and support will help advance our mission in the years ahead.
