The Vittoria Community Choir was formed by Dr. Raymond Danley to help celebrate Vittoria's Bicentennial in 1996. The choir was so popular and well-received, it has continued to perform and grow, raising money for a wide variety of worthy causes.
Today, Vittoria is a quiet, peaceful hamlet, situated
about three miles from Lake Erie, in Charlotteville Township, Norfolk County,
in Southern Ontario, Canada, with a population of about 600. Masked by this
veneer of tranquility, lies a long and distinguished history of which residents
are justifiably proud.
History
Vittoria,
the Former District Capital is in the area settled very late in
the 18th century, called Long Point Settlement, Upper Canada.

Bicentennial
In 1996, Vittoria celebrated its Bicentennial, and a new era of pride and
enthusiasm was ushered in. There was so much enthusiasm that a new charitable
organization, The Vittoria & District Foundation
was formed. The foundation has already done much to enhance the quality
of life for residents of the district, and will continue to do so for many
years to come.
On October 30, 2000, the work of The Vittoria & District Foundation was
recognized by the Foundation for Rural
Living who presented The V&DF with the "best in the country" award
for "Outstanding Voluntarism". For more information on the Foundation for
Rural Living, click on their link.
