Events and activities

Notice: The CCB Toronto Visionaries will follow all Toronto Public Health recommendations for COVID-19. As restrictions lift, protocols may vary according to venue requirements. Please see individual event listings below and event bulletins for more information.

Every year, the CCB Toronto Visionaries presents a few big events, like our Spring concert, our Walk-a-thon and Beach BBQ, our bus trip, and the WCW Experience Expo. We also offer many smaller activities throughout the year, including local historical tours, described walks, meals out at local restaurants, our regular monthly meetings, and much more!
