The Annual Churchill Dinner
Held annually since 1984, the Churchill Dinner is Toronto’s premier event celebrating the life and contributions of those who support Canada’s democracy.
The Rt. Hon. Jean Chrétien
2023 Award Recipient
In his maiden speech 60 years ago Mr. Chrétien dedicated himself to the ideals of parliamentary democracy by pledging that “even though we occupy the government benches we must give the members of this house the assurance that we will give our point of view on every matter raised before the House of Commons.” He guarded that flame throughout his remarkable parliamentary career and it never dimmed, and for that we honour him.
