Toronto priory hosted a Summer Social at the Canadian Forces College in Toronto.  With more than 40 members in attendance, including our Grand Prior, Charles Hill, the evening was full of laughter, networking, and reconnecting.  As a garden party this event was more casual than some of our other events, but that didn’t stop us from including some terrific honours.

Our congratulations to Dame (Commander) Dagmar Teubner who was presented with a Neck Insignia of the Order and Dame Commander Henah Hannah who was presented with the Grand Cross.  Personally, I was honoured to receive the Grand Prior’s Commendation along with our Toronto Prior, Chevalier John Nolan, in recognition for our volunteer efforts with the priory.  We we’re also given a first glimpse at the newly minted 700^th anniversary commemorative challenge coin (visit the gallery to see more).  Our thanks to both our Grand Prior Charles Hill and our Toronto Prior John Nolan for being on hand to make these presentations.

In addition, we we’re honoured to have been joined by Ms. Namita Joshi from True Patriot Love, who was there to tell us more about what this amazing organization does, not the least of which is the coordination of the upcoming Canadian Walk for Veterans on Sept 21 & 22^nd.
