About MDA

We started as a community group, then officially registered as a business in 2023. We have now hosted over 50 events, worked with over 300+ businesses, raised over $20,000 for local charities/non-profits, and are just getting started!​ In 2024 we attracted over 20,000 guests to our events, with our feature event Barkham Event drawing 7-9,000 attendees!

INSPIRED BY OUR FUREVER CEO

Ellie is the heart and soul of MDA and in 2024 when she was diagnosed with caner, team MDA surprised our founder Greg with an "End Of Life" Photoshoot with Danica Oliva Photography. 

Ellie, a rescued shelter dog from Toronto Animal Service lived 14 years. The majority of her life was in Toronto: Beaches, Yonge and Eglinton, Scarborough and her golden years were in Markham - where MDA began.
