Veritas 2026 Holiday Food Drive
Weston Area Emergency Support
The Veritas Winter Food Drive aims to lighten the burden of hunger for those who have to endure it. 100% of the financial donations raised will go toward purchasing badly needed groceries, which will be delivered by volunteers to an established and worthy organization before the holidays.
Rising food prices combined with the surging cost of rent continue to add to the difficulties of those living on fixed and low incomes in Toronto.
Recent media reports indicate GTA food banks are facing the highest demand in their history. The Veritas Holiday Food Drive aims to lighten the burden of hunger for those who have to endure it. 100% of donations will go toward purchasing groceries, which will be delivered by volunteers to the Weston Area Emergency Support (WAES) located at 1 King St. in the Weston Community of Toronto (bounded by Wilson Ave., Royal York, Black Creek and Eglinton Ave.).
Please donate, or better yet, join us for shopping on November 21 at the Real Canadian Superstore at 2549 Weston Rd, Toronto.
For 40 years, WAES has provided food support and security to the most vulnerable in the Weston community. They offer support without judgment, and their volunteers welcome clients from all backgrounds and walks of life.
Thank you for your support!
To date, the Veritas Food Drives have raised over $26,000 for local food banks!
Buddies 33rd Annual Charity Golf Tournament 2026
The Buddies Open's relentless attack on Cancer teed off on Sunday, September 13, 2026.
Thank you to all who participated.
We will tally up the donations shortly.
History of the Buddies Open
In 1994, the North West Devils were awarded $500 for winning the Bill Bolton Consolation Men's Hockey Championship. Excited but unsure what to do with the bounty, the team decided to use the funds for a golf tournament and a BBQ. The event was so successful that it became a charitable ritual.
Nearly all the original Devils continue to participate in the tourney (though none have ever won), but much has changed. Most notably, the bachelors have become fathers, making their wives, children and grandchildren part of the Buddies.
Veritas employees and their families, as well as many of our clients and associates, have also joined.
Over the years, we've raised almost $160,000. For the September 2025 tournament, 106 donors raised a net $20,000 for Northern Ontario Families of Children With Cancer, Childhood Cancer Canada, Camp Erin, Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario, Leucan, and Nankind.
