| ~ ~ ~ ABOUT the Toronto Rainbow Reef Rangers ~ ~ ~ |
The Toronto Rainbow Reef Rangers was started in 2001 after a group of local divers attended a gay international SCUBA event called Diving For Life (DFL). During this event the Ontario members raised over $2000, which would be donated to a local charity of their choice if they were part of a registered diving club. After the divers' return to Canada, they created TRRR as a means of securing their raised funds for Casey House in Toronto.
2015 DFL Recipients: PWA Toronto $1425 (US Dollars) to People With AIDS Foundation (PWA) on behalf of the participants of the 2015 Diving for Life event.
2014 DFL Recipients: Fife House: $1588 (US Dollars) to Fife House on behalf of the participants of the 2014 Diving for Life event.
2013 DFL Recipients: Fife House

The goal of TRRR is to unite and promote gay and lesbian scuba diving in the Toronto area.
