Remembering Tova
Tova and Larry Vickar played a transformative role in our community. Their generosity and vision helped establish the Tova Café, a space rooted in their belief that people with intellectual disabilities have unique gifts to share and deserve opportunities to thrive.
Beyond her philanthropy, Tova was an active and cherished member of our community who consistently celebrated the gifts of people with intellectual disabilities. Her kindness, compassion, and joyful spirit touched countless lives and continues to inspire our work today.
About Paul Ong
Many will recognize Paul from his appearance on Canada's Got Talent and his annual Concert for a Cause, now in its 12th year and on track to raise more than $400,000 for local charities.
"Tova was so much more than a friend to me. She and Larry welcomed me into their family and home, and over the years, music became a beautiful part of our friendship.
In her final years, I had the privilege of singing for Tova and sharing countless conversations, laughter, and precious moments together, both on and off stage.
Tova had a generous heart, a wonderful spirit, and a deep love for music and giving back. I feel incredibly blessed to have been part of her life. While we miss her dearly, I know that every time I sing, a little piece of her will always be present."
We look forward to celebrating with you, honouring Tova's remarkable legacy, and recognizing the generosity and support that continue to make belonging possible within our community.
