Dalliday, who was affectionately known as ‘The Diller’, played for the Petes in the 1960-61 season. In 1976, he began an over 30 year career delivering sportscasts on CHEX-TV, retiring in 2009.

He focused on local sports, and had been a champion of the Peterborough and area sport scene for decades. Dalliday is a member of the Peterborough and District Sports Hall of Fame and Peterborough Pathway of Fame.

Among his many charitable efforts in the Peterborough area, Dalliday served as a volunteer with Community Care Peterborough delivering Meals on Wheels to seniors and adults with disabilities.

“Our family is proud and thankful of this opportunity,” said Pete, on behalf of the Dalliday Family.  “My dad would be very pleased with proceeds of this event helping Community Care.”

This fundraising event has a BBQ lunch available from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m., a shotgun start at 1:30 p.m., putting dinner around 5:30 p.m. depending on the pace of play. Cost is $175 per player.

The proceeds of the event will support the Meals on Wheels program in Peterborough, Selwyn Township (Ennismore and Bridgenorth) and Buckhorn areas.

“The demand for this program is growing in these areas and throughout Peterborough County, so this fundraising event in Gary’s memory is so appreciated and attached to a program that he believed in too,” said Alicia Vandine, Donor Relations and Communication Lead at Community Care Peterborough.

Last year, Community Care Peterborough delivered 45,186 meals and 4,952 grocery orders within their Meals on Wheels program.
