| Thank You for Attending our 75th Annual Christmas Luncheon! |
Our 75th Annual Christmas Luncheon was our biggest event yet!
Two thousand five hundred industry professionals joined us on Friday December 1, 2017 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre for an afternoon of networking and celebration.
Amongst our guests we had the incomparable former Mayor of Mississauga, Hazel McCallion gracing us with her presence, in her remarks she thanked everyone in the audience for their hard work and commitment to building a strong city. Our entertainer, Steve Patterson did his part filling the room with non-stop laughter. A good time was had by all!
THANK YOU to everyone who participated and helped make this event our most successful to date.
HUGE THANK YOU to all of our sponsors for supporting our luncheon. We appreciate your continued support!!
