Team Elfassy Proudly Sponsors the 4th Annual Pet Costume Contest

Four Years of Community Spirit and Furry Fun

We’re so excited to celebrate another year of wagging tails, creative costumes, and community togetherness! Team Elfassy has been a proud sponsor of Councillor Chris Ainsworth’s Pet Costume Contest & Party since day one, and we couldn’t be happier to be part of this wonderful tradition for the 4th year running.

Join Us for a Pawsome Day!

Grab the family and bring your furry friends for an afternoon of fun! Sunday, October 5th, 2025, from 12pm to 3pm at the beautiful Sugarbush Heritage Park (91 Thornhill Woods Dr, Thornhill). This FREE event (with a non-perishable donation to the Vaughan Food Bank) is all about celebrating our pets, our neighbors, and the amazing community we call home.

Supporting The Vaughan Food Bank – Giving Back Together

While this is a FREE event for everyone, we’re asking attendees to bring along a non-perishable food item to support the Vaughan Food Bank. It’s a simple way we can all help our neighbors and make sure local families have what they need.

We hope to see you, your family, and your furry companions at Sugarbush Heritage Park on October 5th for a day filled with laughter, fun, and community!
