HDLC Activist Awards Night 2025

May 2, 2025

The annual awards night is booked for June 26th at Marquis Gardens. Due to price increases at the venue, we have had to raise the ticket prices.

Individual tickets will be $105 with a table of ten at $1050. The event is a fundraiser for the United Way and any proceeds above and beyond costs are forwarded to them with our annual donation.

Please consider making motions at your next local’s Council or GMM to purchase tickets and join us at the event. It isn’t often that we take the time to recognize the work that is done locally within our movement. We should always take the time to hold these moments and use them to share solidarity with those doing good work.

We will have a live link for information surrounding nominations that can be downloaded, printed and submitted to Tom at secretary.hdlc@gmail.com, Anthony at amarco@rogers.com, or Gillian at gsurette-robinson@uwhh.ca. Please consider nominating equity seeking candidates when possible from your locals.

You can view the Award Categories and nomination requirements at the link here.

As always, there will be door prizes, music, food, and a 50/50. If your local has any swag to donate to some of our prize packages, please contact Gillian.

Also contact Gillian for ticket requests and for any questions around the event: gsurette-robinson@uwhh.ca.
