Classic rock legends, The Kings, were honoured with Oakville's Award of Merit.
From their Facebook page:
Dave and Z each received an "Award of Merit" from our hometown, Oakville, Ontario. In part, they say:
"As a founding member of The Kings, your work helped define a pivotal era of Canadian rock music that continues to resonate with audiences across generations. As we recognize you with this Award of Merit, we do so with gratitude for what you have given to Canadian music and to the spirit of our town. Thank you for representing our community with distinction."
It was a fun night for sure, special thanks to Jane and Paige for organizing it!
The award was presented by Oakville Mayor Rob Burton, who had this to say on his Instagram page:
I was pleased to present the Town of Oakville Award of Merit to The Kings, recognizing their lasting contribution to Canadian rock music and their Oakville roots.
This honour celebrates local talent that has brought pride to our community and helped shape Canada’s music scene for generations.
