The Gold Award Celebration Banquet is a special time for us to come together. We get caught up with old friends and make new ones. We also celebrate the recipient of the annual Gold Award honouring a person who has made a significant contribution to Welsh life in Ontario, and has been presented since 2011.

We are thrilled to announce Alan Thomas as the 2026 Gold Award Recipient. Alan’s contribution will be honoured at the Banquet on Friday, April 24, 2026 beginning at 6:00 p.m.
