Tastes of the Hill Provides Cultural Experiences and Funds to the Community

Deputy Mayor, Regional & Local Councillor Vito Spatafora announced that $35,000 was raised at this year’s Tastes of the Hill (TOTH) Multicultural Festival in support of Epilepsy York Region. The organization was selected to receive the funds raised due to their work providing support, education and advocacy to people with epilepsy and their families in York Region. This year’s TOTH multicultural festival did not disappoint! Visitors experienced international cultures through a variety of activities, including live entertainment, a fashion show, contests and a showcase of culture, food and beverages, film, arts and crafts, sports and animals. To date, Tastes of the Hill has raised nearly half a million dollars for more than 20 local charities.
