The Chamber and award recipients received congratulatory letters from The Rights Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada and Hon. Pierre Poilievre, Leader of His Majesty’s Opposition, while both Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario and Patrick Brown, Mayor of Brampton delivered video greetings.
The event was a great success! Networking opportunities were plentiful, food was delicious, and the calibre of award recipients was excellent.
