Our 76th Annual Christmas Luncheon was completely sold out, once again this year!
On Friday, November 30, 2018, two thousand five hundred industry professionals joined us at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre for an afternoon of celebration. Participants enjoyed a delicious lunch, networking and entertainment.
Our special guest, the exceptional former Mayor of Mississauga, Hazel McCallion, graced us once more with her presence this year. In her remarks, she praised all of the hardworking men and women representing all segments of the construction industry for their tremendous contribution to our great city.
Graham Chittenden, our master of ceremonies also did a fantastic job keeping the audience entertained.
Special thank you to our board of directors, speakers, and sponsors who helped to make this year’s event another amazing success!
And a tremendous thank you to ALL of you who joined us!
Wishing everyone a happy holiday season and all of the very best for the coming new year.
