“I like to offer a heartfelt gratitude to you as staff and planning committee, Toronto Christian Community Church, Markham Ward 8 Councillor Isa Lee, MPP Daisy Wai, MPP Billy Pang, OVSA 5-year volunteers, our 28+ adult and youth volunteers, ZiON NOiZ, 27 vendors and booth hosts, class instructors and 145 performers, Cultural Cafe team, Thrift Shop team, food donor, partners, and all our participants who made this anniversary possible. It has been a long time coming since we can gather together to taste the goodness of in-person community when we have been virtual for so long (with physical distancing of course). The performances were wonderful! The booths were amazing (I wish I bought more)! The atmosphere was unbelievable. 1000+ people celebrated with us over the course of our 8th-year anniversary thanksgiving day.”
