District 123 Awards 2025-2026
North York Memorial Community Hall North York Centre, 5150 Yonge Street Toronto ON North York Memorial Community Hall North York Centre, 5150 Yonge Street, North York, Ontario, CanadaDistrict 123 Awards 2025-2026
Every year the District rewards the top Toastmasters in District 123. The District decides, at the first District Executive Meeting in July, which awards will be presented for the current Toastmasters year.
The awards are presented in the Fall of the following Toastmasters year. There are a few reasons for this: Toastmasters International doesn't finalize the previous year's numbers, reports until the end of July. August is Toastmasters International Annual General Meeting and is a busy month as well as summer for the members of District 123. September is the District's semi-annual District Council meeting where we approve the District budget and other important motions. October or November is usually when the previous year's awards are issued.
The 2025-26 awards will be: Division Director of the Year, Area Director of the Year, Club President of the Year, and Toastmaster of the Year.
There is a limit of 65 attendees so the attendance list is by invitation only.
