 There's more to the Ontario
Welsh Festival than just those uplifting (and enjoyable) days of the Gymanfa Ganu. Here is other OWF news that
might be of interest:
Y Wobr Aur 2012 / The Gold Award 2012
In order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Ontario Welsh Festival in 2011, the president, Betty Cullingworth, launched the idea of a special Award to be presented annually to a person deemed to have contributed extensively to the Welsh community in Ontario.
A committee was established with a representative from the Ontario Welsh Festival, the Ottawa Welsh Society, The St David’s Society of Toronto, Dewi Sant Welsh Church plus the president of the Ontario Welsh Society. Board members and members at large were asked to submit the names of candidates with a resumé of their contributions to the Welsh community. Requests for candidates were placed in Y Gadwyn as well as the above societies.
The recipient of the inaugural Award was Hefina Phillips, who will participate in the search for a winner in 2012.
Should you wish to submit the names of potential winners of this prestigious award, please contact Betty Cullingworth at 416-486-0432 or
president@OntarioWelshFestival.ca. All suggestions will be welcome.
