A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Participants
Thank you to everyone who joined the Humanists of Toronto Festivus gathering on December 17th, 2023. Your presence enriched our event, and we hope you felt inspired and connected.
Highlights of the Festivus
Community Support and Joyful Giving: In the true Festivus spirit of sharing and giving, we came together to support the Parkdale Community Food Bank. Our collective efforts resulted in a donation of $365 and two large boxes filled with essential items. The generosity of our community was a heartwarming reminder of what we can achieve together. Celebrating our successful fundraiser was not just a highlight of the event, but a testament to the kindness that thrives within our secular humanist community.
Honored Guests from HAT: Our gathering was graced by the founders of the Humanist Association of Toronto (HAT), Olga and Johan van de Ven, who joined us to celebrate Festivus in the true spirit of friendship and community. Their presence added a special touch to our festivities, reminding us of the shared values that bring us together.
The Festivus Pole: Standing tall and unadorned, our Festivus pole served as a central gathering point where we shared grievances, stories, and moments of connection.
