RSCDS Toronto Scottish Country Dance Association
Scottish Country Dancing celebrates the traditional dances of Scotland. There are no swords, no flings, just elegant strathspeys, fast jigs and lively reels. Since 1923, the traditions of country dance have been preserved by the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. Over 21,000 RSCDS members worldwide enjoy the social interaction, physical exercise and pure pleasure of dance. The 500 member strong Toronto Scottish Country Dance association welcomes new members. On the second Saturday of each month, there is a monthly dance held at Crescent School, 2365 Bayview Avenue. There are social groups throughout the greater Toronto area that meet on a weekly basis and we have classes for children of all ages. We hold workshops for all levels of dancers and our association runs classes for dancers from beginner to advanced levels. The highlight of our season is the Annual Tartan Ball where dancers put on their finest and enjoy an evening of dining and dancing (February 19 2005 at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Toronto).  In the spring of each year, "Dancing in the Park" gives everyone an opportunity to watch and join in the dancing outdoors at Edwards Gardens. For information on all our activities, call 416-410-7078 or visit www.rscdstoronto.org.

Eastern Canada Highland Dancers Alliance
The Eastern Canada Highland Dancers Alliance was formed approximately 50 years ago by a few local area teachers. The Association organized annual competitions. Families were to become members in order for their dancers to compete in these competitions. Most of the competitions that were organized some 50 years ago are still up and running. There are still perpetual trophies in circulation which dancers are still winning to this day with names of dancers from way back. Some trophies had to be referbished. The following are annual competitions which the ECHDA hold. -- 3rd Sat. in January, last Sat. in Feb., 3rd Sat. in March, 2nd Sat. in May, July 1st, 2nd Sat. in Sept. and 3rd Sat. in October. All of these competitions have been going for many years. At all the competitions the dancers must be members of the association. However, the May competition is a Scottish Official Board Highland dance sanctioned Championship which are for Premier dancers only and you do not have to be a member of the Association to compete in this. This championship brings dancers from all over Canada and the US. When a dancer wins a Championship they receive a certificate from the SOBHD in Scotland stating this championship win. Ontario dancers also have an Oscar for the dancer who wins the most championships throughout the year in 4 different age groups. The Ontario association has just started in the past 2 years a 'gala' night in February where we honor these Oscar Winners. There are many dance Associations in Ontario and throughout the world. Ontario is known to have an enormous amount of talent. In 2003 at the World Highland Dancing Championships in Scotland, the winners of the Jr., Sr. and Adult world championship were all from Ontario. For the past 9 years the reigning adult Champion who holds the record for the most World Championships in a row, is from Ontario. So highland dancing is very strong and growing in Ontario. There are over 100 highland dancing schools in Ontario alone. Dancers compete yearly at the different indoor competitions, the summer outdoor highland games, and many travel yearly to Scotland in August to compete in the Commonwealth and World Highland Dancing Championships.

Touch of Tartan -- Production of Mother Tongue
An evening of traditional and new Highland dance, Mother Tongue runs for two nights at the Betty Oliphant Dance Theatre, Thursday, October 6th and Friday, October 7th, 2005 at 8 pm. Touch of Tartan (ToT), a professional highland dance performance collective since 1997 in Toronto, will perform traditional Highland dances that connect audiences with roots and new highland-influenced choreographies that express the culture that endures as a result of these roots. Touch of Tartan's professional and champion dancers perform well-loved traditional dances (e.g. the Sword Dance) and our new choreographies have had crowds clapping along in Ontario and Nova Scotia. Mother Tongue is ToT’s second full-evening of performance in a dance theatre, our first such show, Fresh Haggis, was staged at the Winchester Street theatre in 2002. As a result of the interest that followed after Fresh Haggis we have begun to teach children who were in attendance and requested classes. ToT has performed at many events in the GTA ­ noteworthy are the City of Toronto Street Festival, the Toronto Police Tattoo and Pageant and Mississauga's Canada Day celebrations for the last two years running. ToT has held fund-raising performance events in various venues. We look forward to continuing to build our connection to the Toronto audience, sharing new dance creations with our loyal audience and supporters. The goal of this production is to increase the visibility of Highland Dance and Highland Choreography by staging it in a professional setting. This will allow us to continue to promote Scottish tradition and cultural life and to contribute to Toronto’s multi-cultural fabric. We invite you to buy a Patron Ticket to Mother Tongue. Please call 416-856-6220 to reserve your ticket. Or please write to Mary Fleur Hanlon, Director, Choreographer, Touch of Tartan 1042 Davenport Rd. Toronto, Ontario, M6G 2B9.

The highland Scots were one of several Indo-European peoples known as Celts. The Canadian Celtic Arts Association encourages members to explore, celebrate and preserve the art, literature, music, dance, history -- and language -- of the Celts. Gaelic is still spoken in some communities in highland Scotland -- and, yes, in Toronto too! The Toronto Gaelic Learners Association will hold Scottish Gaelic classes this winter at St. Michael’s College on Saturday mornings. The Gaelic Society of Toronto will have a Scottish Gaelic Language and Song Workshop on April 2 (121 St. Joseph St). They also hold "ceilidhs" on the first Saturday evening of the month from October to May. There are numerous other Celtic events in Toronto including speakers, concerts and theatre. The University of Toronto Celtic Society and the Canadian Celtic Arts Association will co-host a Robbie Burns Night on Jan 21, at Charbonnel Lounge, St. Michael's College, 81 St. Mary Street.

Spinal Tap Mixed Bonspiel
Curling is still very popular with Scottish Canadians. On the heels of the 13th Invacare Spinal Tap Mixed Bonspiel, which was a phenomenal success raising almost $23,000 for spinal cord research, I am excited to announce Saturday, March 5th, 2005 as the date for the 14th Invacare Spinal Tap Mixed Bonspiel. We are very pleased that Invacare will be our title sponsor again this year, and thank them very much for their generous support. Our 13 year total now stands at over $120,000 raised. With your support we hope to break the $150,000 barrier. This year’s Spinal Tap promises to be another great day, which includes a dinner and dance, the popular Celebrity Wheelchair Challenge, and over $6,000 in great prizes. Be sure to enter early, as the last year’s bonspiel was full over a month early, and ended up with a waiting list. For more information, please log onto http://shootforacure.org/Curling. You may also contact Ryan Durham, 1-800-361-4004, ext 224, or Thornhill Country Club, 905-881-3000.

Scarborough Red Hackle Pipes and Drums
The Scarborough Red Hackle Pipes and Drums was formed in May 1978 by a group who had been taking piping and drumming lessons at Agincourt Collegiate under Sandy Dewar and Pat Mulvenna. We picked up a few experienced pipers and drummers. The original Pipe Major was John Leith, the Pipe Sargeant was John Reid, and the Drum Major was Al Downer. Over the years the Band has performed at many Highland Games around southern Ontario, with a couple of forays into New York State and even one to Denmark. Individual members have performed in Scotland. We perform at community events such as the Canada Day Parades, Caravan, Warrior's and Labour Day at the CNE. We practice at Royal Canadian Legion  Branch 10 at Pape and O'Connor. Our 2005 Burns Supper is Sunday afternoon January 16, co-hosted by R.C.L. Branch 11 (Danforth and Dawes Rd.). Two members assisted with the "1834 Celebration of Robbie Burns".

Highland Creek Pipes and Drums
The Highland Creek Pipes and Drums was formedi n the fall of 1954 by employees of the Dowty Iron Works of Ajax. The Tartan is MacDonald of the Isles. A new home had to be found, so in 1957 was affiliated with Branch 258 Royal Canadian Legion in Highland Creek. In 1979, after 22 years with the legion, the band became an independant organization. Under the name of Highland Creek Pipes and Drums, the band registered as a non profit organization in 1988. There have been only two pipe majors with the band. The first was Bob Dunbar.  Then in 1967 Bill Fodor took over and still serves to-day. All monies earned at various functions are channeled towards upkeep of uniforms and instruments. The Highland Creek band is one of the few remaining bands to wear the full traditional British Highland uniform with feather bonnets: the pipe section wearing the green doublet, and the drums in red. The band's purpose is to teach, preserve, and enjoy the rich musical heritage of the Scottish pipes and drums and pass on that pleasure to an audience of every age and background. We perform for many local gatherings throughout the year, and are presently getting ready for our Robbie Burns Night (Jan. 29 2005), which we hold and run ourselves. We get around 500 attendees at this night -- it is the biggest gathering around. After Robbie Night, we get right into reherarsals for our spring concert at Scarborough Civic Center on April 17th. This is a free two hour concert including dancers.
