YOUTH DAY Global

06/11/2026

Today, the YD Family lost one of our most brilliant minds & supporters, CHRISTOPHER (CHRIS) RAYMOND BONAR - who during his 46 years on this earth, opened up so many doors of phylosophy, scientific developments and sociology to me, that no-one has ever come close to... An absolute "giver" of self; with an incredible work ethic in his decades of high-level formwork like building bridges; he genuinly had no fear ~ just an endless love of learning and curiosity. Helpful to the core, and for every single person he met, he also brought valuable sponsors to YOUTH DAY, and believed wholeheartedly in our kids and their need for a stage... As a frequent late caller with hours of truly intruiging conversation, I will personally miss your "other planet" brain Chris, as you too pondered everything around us with an ambition to solve the world's problems. You were a gift I will treasure; Goodnight my nutty professor, and thank you... RIP ~ Ty ❤ (Spontanious to be bone, he flew from Edmonton to spend this last New Year's with me in Toronto - for 24 hours & flew back! So appropriate, as when he moved in with me in 2021 while on contract in Ontario, we actually met on New Year's Eve, and as they had no plans ~ I just took them with me to my parties! ❤)

Thank you to the House of Commons for rightfully recognizing my friend, the Honorable Dr. Jean Augustine—our esteemed Guest of Honour for our upcoming September Civic Engagement evening.

Dr. Augustine, your passion, leadership, and trailblazing accomplishments continue to inspire us all. On behalf of the entire YOUTH DAY Toronto family, thank you for what you have done for our country, what you continue to do for our youth, and the incredible example you set for future leaders. We are deeply honoured to have you join us at both of our free 2026 Double-Feature events celebrating "20 years of YD." We are ever grateful for your continued support! ~ Smiles Ty 😊

Feeling rather privileged that our YOUTH DAY Global | YOUTH DAY Toronto Guests to our annual "THANK YOUth 2025 Benefit", were some of the 1st to witness the St. Lawrence Hall after a decade of renovations! This Video Recap captures some of the elegant evening in the historic landmark, now restored to its 1850 grandeur. It was held Friday, September 26th (yep ~ on my Birthday too!), and big thanks to all that came out to support next Summer's 20th Anniversary of the YOUTH DAY free Art Festivals for aspiring Talent. REMINDER that we are now accepting Vendor, Corporate Sponsorship & Volunteer applications at www.youthdayglobal.com (Auditions open February 1, 2026) Join our youthdayglobal YouTube channel to catch our events, and do let us know how YOU too want to BE PART OF IT!
