Drum Artz Canada founder and executive director Gili Zemer was recently honoured with one of Toronto’s Community Culture Champion awards. The Celebrate 27 Arts Fest Community Cultural Champions project recognizes the significant contribution that cultural champions make in our communities.

There are many people in Toronto's diverse neighbourhoods and in the community arts sector who have given of themselves to enrich their communities through the arts. Gili was one of twelve local "cultural champions" honoured at the launch of the Celebrate 27 Arts Fest on March 31 at Brookfield Place where the Samba Kidz also performed.
