This talented group of singers has represented the Ontario District at the Barbershop Harmony Society International Chorus Championship each year since their formation in 1998, bringing home five consecutive Silver medals in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. With 34 men on stage in Kansas City in 2000, they were proud to be recognized as the smallest chorus to ever receive a medal at the International competition, and even more proud to be considered instrumental in shifting the perceptions that a smaller chorus can compete at the highest levels within the singing society.

TNL's expansive repertoire ranges from Barbershop to Broadway, Vocal Jazz to Doo-Wop, and from Gershwin to the Beatles. As a testament to this chorus' versatility, the Toronto Northern Lights was selected as the winner in the Cultural Traditions category of the CBC / Radio-Canada National Radio Competition for Amateur Choirs in 2000.

Although Toronto is their home base, the chorus draws members from a large area, with men willing to travel 200 miles (in all seasons!) for rehearsals, just to be part of the excitement.

The Toronto Northern Lights is a dynamic group of men working towards a common goal of musical excellence to thrill and charm their audiences. The chorus attracts members from the complete range of ages, backgrounds and employment; from twenty-year-old university students, to business professionals, to men in retirement.

They have created 3 recordings for the public to enjoy over and over again, including their most recent compilation the Sky's the Limit.
