We're still basking in the glow from last week's benefit show at Parkdale Hall!

A huge thank you to Exclaim! for this thoughtful review, which perfectly captured what the night was really about - community, solidarity, and a reminder that in difficult times, Toronto's music scene is a community that cares.

Thank you to everyone who played, volunteered, donated, attended, and helped make this night possible.

Toronto Bands Proved That Community Goes Beyond the Scene at Parkdale Activity Recreation Centre Benefit │ Exclaim! Parkdale Hall, July 23

Our Memorial BBQ will take place tomorrow. Join us as we honour the memories of members we've since lost. Thank you to The Dale Ministries for their support.

Join us for Spirits in the Sky, a Memorial BBQ hosted by The Dale Ministries and Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre.

Together, we will remember and honour those we have lost in 2026, as well as loved ones who have been gone for many years.

Through shared stories, music, reflection, ceremony, and a meal, we'll create space to grieve, remember, and be together in community.

We are deeply grateful to Breakaway for leading grief activities and creating space for reflection, the Parkdale Musicians Collective for sharing their music, and our Indigenous Elders who will begin our gathering with a Welcome.
A heartfelt thank you to the Arthur and Audrey Cutten Foundation for funding this important event and helping make this day of remembrance possible.

And yes, there will be good food too.

Everyone is welcome.
