YCL 2023 All-White Theme Attire Boat Cruise Recap |
|
The TCA Young Construction Leaders (YCL) Committee hosted its first-ever sold-out boat cruise event on Thursday, June 22. A total of 280 young construction professionals came out, dressed in an all-white attire, to board the magnificent Yankee Lady III for an evening of networking and cruising.
The attendees enjoyed a perfect weather and were able to relish the beautiful sunset and breathtaking views of the Toronto skyline. The DJ entertained the crowd with the latest hits, and tasty appetizers were served. It was a great time for everyone.
We want to thank all participants for making this year's boat cruise the biggest yet and our sponsors, Home Depot Canada, Pomerleau Inc., Vipond Inc., and Channel 13 Advertising & Design Inc., for their continuous support. We cannot wait to host everyone again next year!
