Richard Bilkszto was a beloved Toronto principal who fought injustice and discrimination during his 24-year career. He believed that all students should have an equal opportunity to get ahead based on hard work and achievement. Tragically, Richard took his life after being bullied over a false charge of racism.
Friends of Richard Bilkszto is a registered Canadian charity that honours Richard's legacy and work to build a better education system for future generations. We disburse an annual scholarship and award in his name.
