The Association’s 5th annual Excellence Gala took place on October 17, 2023, in Toronto, Ontario.
Hosted at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, the evening celebrated the exceptional lives of six new Horatio Alger Association of Canada Award Recipients:
AMAR S. DOMAN

MONIQUE F. LEROUX
Corporate Director
Chair of the Board and CEO Desjardins Group (Retired)
ANTHONY VON MANDL

The Gala was also an occasion to hear from Horatio Alger alumni who spoke of fortitude and perseverance through personal challenges as well as their successes today.
Our 2023 Gala raised a record $6 million in support of Horatio Alger Scholarships for deserving students who have faced adversity. These Scholarships aren’t just financial support for education, they provide recipients with a supportive community that will guide scholars throughout their careers.
