OUR
HISTORY
The Toronto Association of the Deaf (TAD) was incorporated in 1937 as a non-profit organization operated for the enjoyment of the Deaf. TAD facilitates sporting events and social activities for the deaf in the Greater Toronto Area. It is well-known through its strong team presence in various Canadian and Ontario sporting tournaments, but it also holds an annual ball which attracts many from across Ontario. Other social events include things like picnics, corn roasts, hay rides, dances and many other family-friendly activities.
The origins and history of the association goes back to 1929, when it was named the Silent Athletic Club and held meetings above a second hand store on Church Street in Toronto.
Like many organizations TAD has an annual general meeting (AGM) each fall which everyone is invited to attend. During the AGM seven TAD members are elected and form a board of directors, which meets privately once a month to plan all events and discuss organizational issues.
