Good times and great fun was had at the TCA's Second Annual Women's Golf Day! Over one hundred industry women attended this remarkable event at Angus Glen Golf Club held on Wednesday, September 8, 2021.
The ladies enjoyed a gorgeous day of golfing on the course and many other amazing attractions. At the end of the day, every golfer received a stylish Orb water bottle as a giveaway.
Special thank you to Home Depot who provided Pizza on hole one and Espresso and Gelato on hole fifteen; Pallett Valo LLP for sponsoring the ice cream truck that served delicious gourmet ice cream on hole ten, and TSS Building Science Inc. who sent everyone off the eighteenth tee with fresh Cannoli and Cream Horns.
A huge thank you to our hole sponsors - Alliance Creative, Bothwell-Accurate Co. Inc., Cortech Safety Solutions Inc., Ontario Construction Secretariat, VICTAULIC, and Coloured Aggregates Inc.
We would also like to extend our appreciation to all of the participants who came out for this incredible event. This event would not be possible without everyone's support. We look forward to seeing you all again in 2022!

New Woodsworth College Academic Building
Woodsworth College is one of seven colleges on the University of Toronto’s St. George campus. The new Library & Learning Centre will expand upon the existing College Halls’ function and importance as a social, academic, event, and student life hub for the Faculty of Arts & Science. Key project considerations include the sensitive approach and integration with the existing structures’ heritage features, an appropriate response to context, as well as sustainable facilities suitable to the professionalism of its’ users.
This project will accommodate space requirements for the Centre for Criminology & Sociolegal Studies (CRIM) and for the Centre for Industrial Relations and Human Resources (CIRHR), both of which are academically and administratively linked to Woodsworth College. It will provide a student hub open to all students of the College, and includes a learning commons for CRIM and CIRHR; replace and expand upon Kruger Hall’s function as event and student space, and accommodate the College’s expanding office needs. Two new classrooms (78-seat and 120-seat) are included in the program.
This project has an estimated value of $10,000,000
