Honour Roll

Awards

Congratulations to all the winners of these awards. Their efforts exemplify hard work and dedication to Barbershop singing.

The Barbershopper of the Year Award has been bestowed every year since 2006 to recognize exceptional commitment and service by members of Harbourtown Sound to the ideals of barbershop singing.

All winners of the award have demonstrated their dedication by exemplifying the mission of the chorus: to support local charities, while serving, educating, and entertaining community, business, and charitable organization members, as well as senior citizens and schoolchildren in the greater Halton-Hamilton region.

The Legacy Award is conferred infrequently to members who have made an outstanding contribution to the chorus, and to the world of barbershopping.

2018 Legacy Award

Awarded to Bruce Bonnyman

The Harbourtown Sound Legacy Award for 2018 is awarded to Bruce Bonnyman.

Bruce was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, and took to music like a duck to water. Early on, he learned to play clarinet, saxophone, and piano, and studied harmony at the Royal Conservatory of Music. At the age of 89, he has been a barbershopper for more than 70 years.

His wish for everyone is that we may never grow too old to respond to the caress of a Barbershop chord.
