On Sunday, October 5, the Town held its annual Tastes of the Hill Multicultural Food Festival where food lovers had the opportunity to enjoy a sensational variety of foods from more than 40 of Richmond Hill's finest dining establishments. Net proceeds will be donated to Autism Ontario – York Region Chapter to help provide camping programs to children and youth living with autism and the York Central Hospital Foundation to help purchase a ventilator for the new Intensive Care Unit.
