All proceeds from this special event will support Community Care’s Meals on Wheels program, providing nourishment and connection for seniors and adults with disabilities in the City of Peterborough, West Selwyn Township, the Municipality of Trent Lakes and Curve Lake First Nation.

The tournament was held on the eighth anniversary of Dalliday’s funeral. It brought together family, friends and community members to honour his legacy.

“Memorials give us a way to make the people we have lost present to us again,” said Chris LeBlanc, CCP director of donor and public relations. “Every time we gather for this tournament, we make sure the last page has not been written in Gary’s story.”

The former spots director at CHEX Radio and Television often volunteered his time to the Meals on Wheels program, which sees 50,000 meals delivered annually.

“Our dad loved Peterborough, he loved sports, and he loved the people he met through both,” said Pete Dalliday, Gary’s son. “What makes this tournament special for our family is seeing all of those things come together. People come out to have fun, reconnect and tell stories about Dad, but at the same time they are helping neighbours in our community. I think he would be incredibly proud of what this tournament has become.”
