What Is the Haitian Excellence Gala?
The Haitian Excellence Gala is an annual celebration presented by Haitians of Toronto to recognize and honour the achievements of Haitian leaders, artists, entrepreneurs, and changemakers in our community.
​
It’s more than a gala, it’s a movement of pride, unity, and empowerment. During this event, you will experience powerful performances, storytelling, and award presentations, we celebrate the brilliance, creativity, and resilience that define Haitian culture.

Why We Do It
Our mission is to shine a light on Haitian excellence and the contributions of our people across generations.

-
Celebrate individuals and organizations making a positive impact.
-
Preserve Haitian culture through art, fashion, music, and cuisine.
-
Inspire youth and newcomers to take pride in their heritage.
-
Unite our community under one elegant and empowering evening.
Every ticket, partnership, and donation supports our year-round community initiatives — from youth mentorship and job readiness workshops to our Back-to-School Festival for children in need.

Why We Celebrate in May
May is Haitian Heritage Month — a time to honour our ancestors and celebrate the global Haitian story.
​
Hosting the Gala in May allows us to align with this historic month, pay tribute to Haiti’s revolutionary history, and recognize those who continue to uplift the community with excellence and pride.
