The program encompasses Peterborough, Chemung/Ennismore, Buckhorn and Curve Lake First Nation. Proceeds help offset the cost of meals, provide subsidies for clients who are unable to pay, and support the delivery of meals to seniors and adults living with disabilities.

The tournament was held on the seventh anniversary of Gary’s funeral. It brought together family, friends and community members to honour his legacy. Daliday volunteered with Meals on Wheels during his lifetime and his grandson Nicholas Bozec also was a volunteer, occasionally seeing both make deliveries together.

Bozec inspired the event to honour his grandfather’s legacy.

“He was a very salt-of-the-earth type of guy and really resonated with people from all walks of life,” said Tim Dalliday, Gary’s son. “To be able to have seniors stay in their homes and to have meals delivered at an affordable price was very important to him. So this cause was near and dear to him. He would have been very proud of what we’ve done and the money we’ve raised.”

“This tournament is a beautiful reminder that Gary continues to care for our community, years after his passing,” said Chris LeBlanc, CCP director of donor and PR. “His life inspired countless people, and that inspiration is still making a difference today for clients who depend on Meals on Wheels.”
