DIL Gala 2006
DIL Toronto - November 19th, 2006

The 2nd annual DIL Gala, hosted in the heart of the breathtaking Humber Valley at the Old Mill Inn, was a glamorous night of exquisite dining and live music performance by the awarded fusion band, JOSH. Guests danced the night away to the passionate rhythms of bhangra tunes while supporting a notable cause.

The event was a major success attended by many dignitaries and prominent members of Toronto's community. DIL Canada's work was appreciated in speeches made by Hon. Mr. Mike Colle - Minister Citizenship and Immigration, Hon. Mr. John Tory - Leader of the opposition and Counsel General of Pakistan Mr. Ghalib Iqbal.

Minister Mike Colle also presented DIL Toronto with a "Certificate of Recognition" for their relentless efforts and dedication in spreading literacy amongst the underprivileged children of Pakistan, especially the girl-child.
