Ontario Soccer honoured match officials at the Match Officials Appreciation Day on Sunday. 

The ceremony for the Match Officials Appreciation awards, which took place at the BMO Club at BMO Field, saw officials from across the province honoured for their role in either helping to develop match officials, or for their outstanding performances as match officials. 

Match Officials were then treated to a discussion with PRO officials who were on hand and got to take in the final Toronto FC game of the season, as they downed their rivals from Atlanta 4-1. 

As part of the day, a percentage of the proceeds from each ticket sold to Match Official Appreciation Day were donated to help equip Ontario Soccer fields with life-saving defibrillators. 

John Collie, the President and CEO of Rescue 7, was in attendance to present the defibrillator to Ontario Soccer's new President Peter Augruso.
